lians: the most complete repository of any
non-commercial institution, association,
group, foundation, OSIA lodge, UNICO
chapter, College Department, museum,
cultural center, festival that celebrates something Italian in the US.
When we began we had a vague idea of the
wealth of the Italian American community in
terms of contents, passion, activities … but
we did not imagine just how much! Now we
know. Our readers maybe remember that at
the beginning we had a calendar too, the
only one regarding the whole 50 States, describing what daily happens regarding Italy
in the US. We used to publish 30 events a
day, but the other events we were forced to leave out were even more
than that: so we decided
to put it in stand-by, even
if we’re planning of working on it again and put
it online, renewed and
powered. But that’s how
the Italian American community is active: dozens
of events every day, to
celebrate Italy in America. An incredible wave of
love for Italy.
About celebrating Italy, we strongly encourage you to take a look at this new video
from the Italian Ministries for Economic Development and for Agriculture and the Italian Trade Agency ICE, called “The Extraordinary Italian Taste”: we’re sure you’ll like it
as much as we did.
As always, also in our 62nd issue of this magazine we will wonder through different Italian regions to take a look at some of the
beautiful excellences of a few Regions of
our beloved country: in our Land and Na-
ture column we tell you how to travel Italy
by camper, maybe while tasting one of the
Italian myths of our The Italian Way column:
coffee! Where will we go this time? Veneto,
for its Traditions in Conegliano; Sicilia, for
the Culture and History in the Val di Noto;
Puglia, with the Flavor of Altamura bread;
Marche, with the handcrafts of shoemaking
in Macerata; Toscana, with the panzanella
recipe of its Cuisine and the Sangiovese
Wine; Molise, with the small town of Oratino; Friuli Venezia Giulia, where our Great
Italian of the Past, Primo Carnera, was born;
Lombardia, with the Art of Accademia Carrara in Bergamo and another wonderful
content of Expo 2015; Valle d’Aosta, with
the beautiful garden of
Entrebin Arboretum;
Lazio, where our student abroad spent our
National Day on June
2, comparing it with the
4th of July in the US.
That’s just a tiny preview of all you will find
in this issue of We the
Italians magazine!
Before to say goodbye,
let me remind you the
awesome opportunity
given by the partnership between John Cabot University and
We The Italians: two brand new Italian-American Heritage Scholarship. You can find
the specifics in this previous editorial, or you
can contact [email protected] for
more information.
That’s all for now. So stay tuned, fasten your
seat belt and enjoy the ride. The future’s so
bright, we gotta wear shades!
