That’s Amore Festival: An Italian American Alternative to Columbus Day Parades

The inclusion of local Italian American establishments modulates the grand narratives that reflect the lived experiences of Italians in their communities. The inclusion of regional folk dances pluralizes Italian culture and serves as a bridge connecting the diaspora with its ancestral regions in Italy. If one thing is clear about this festival, it is that it is steeped in love and passion for the Italian and Italian American heritage, culture, and history. It also provides a glimpse of what future ethnic celebrations can look like.

The Columbus Day Parade is not only about a visionary’s hope of a free world, but about a community of immigrants, its role in building America, and the transmission of its heritage.

In difesa di Cristoforo Colombo dagli attacchi diffamatori di una certa America

Promemoria per la National Education Association (NEA) in nome della verità che è base della vera paideia (educazione). Naturalmente rallegrato dal suo tardivo riconoscimento del genocidio degli indigenous peoples.
