Two Flags, One Heart — We Are Italian America


Proclaimed in 1989 by President George H.W. Bush and the U.S. Congress, Italian American Heritage Month honors the contributions, achievement and principles of our storied culture.

By John M. Viola, The Italian American Podcast

October is Italian American Heritage Month!

If you have “cousins”, “aunts” and “uncles” who aren’t TECHNICALLY related to you but are truly your FAMIGLIA… You get it!

If you know the flower blossom is the best part of the zucchini… You get it!

If you know that a Nonna is something much more than just a grandmother… You get it!

If you know it’s NOT A PEPPER… You get it!

If you know a wedding’s not complete until you get the confetti almonds, hand over the envelope, and take the bomboniera… You get it!

If you’re proud to be one of the 26 million Americans blessed to call ourselves Italian…

Have a Happy and Healthy Italian American Heritage Month!

Let’s all spend the next 30 days sharing our Italian Pride, and if YOU too are Proud To Be Italian, help us to spread the word and make sure all 26 million of us know that October is Italian American Heritage Month.
