Homeless and Freezing in the NYC Winter: Can We Relate From Our Cozy Down Quilts?

The holiday season is an annual reminder of the kindness of strangers. When I moved uptown in the early ‘90’s, and before the city had made a concerted effort to find shelter for the many homeless men and women, a man who had most obviously suffered great loss in the course of his life sat […]

Ellis Island: Finally Lady Liberty Meets her Italian Twin “Libertà della Poesia”

Bartholdi and Fedi never met, but were both stirred by the same idea. After many emails, transatlantic visits and research, the U.S. National Parks Service and the Opera di Santa Croce in Florence, Italy succeeded in producing this long-awaited exhibit with the help of several other partners. The exhibit runs from October 18th through April 26th, 2020, and is the third ever done on the Statue of Liberty. “We felt like this was an important exhibit,” said Diana Pardue, Director of Museum Services at Ellis Island.

NIAF Denounces: Mother Cabrini #1 Choice, Yet Statue to Her Denied in NYC

“Mother Cabrini’s contribution to New York City and her legacy are indisputable. The services she provided to poor and vulnerable Italian immigrants, most of them women, should not be ignored,” said NIAF Chair Patricia de Stacy Harrison. “On behalf of the National Italian American Foundation, we support Mother Cabrini’s life and works and believe that she should have her own honorary statue in the city.”

That First-baby Experience Can Be Scary! So Much to Know, so Many Questions!

When I became a mom, at age 32, I felt deeply alone. My husband had gone back to work, my mom had left, urging me with a, “Honey, you need to bond alone with your baby”. What I call “The United States of My Trusted Moms”, on line groups going through a similar experience, will abolish any distance, and help you overcome any anxiety of being left alone, unheard and isolated.

The Sorrows of a Fading City: What’s Next for NYC’s Commercial Spaces?

As of several holiday seasons ago, I became a computer priestess, joining the enormous flock of users. The delights were endless, and the simplicity divine. I knocked off my entire children’s list of gifts by activating an Amazon account and linking it to my Citibank. It’s better than shopping for sales, and the process is made simple. Could I be contributing to the demise of retail establishments in NYC?

In Calabria il “Festival delle Spartenze” che unisce gli italiani nel mondo

Il Festival delle Spartenze sarà condivisione tra italiani ed emigrati, tra passato e presente, tra culture, tradizioni e territori, per sanare le fratture culturali e sentimentali di un'Italia dove l'esodo dei migranti è stata una realtà drammatica, "ma soprattutto è stata una vergogna"

Harlem, Then and Now: a Neighborhood with Emotional Connections

Equitable Life made the area even more undesirable by restricting the potential sale of homes. Homes sat vacant for years, and when they were finally made available to an open market, they were priced at $8000 each. They attracted groups of hard working professionals or ‘strivers’ who gave the houses their current name.

Nine Hundred Miles from Orlando

My friends and I had gone to the club several times... I would just sit in my bed with tears flowing down my face thinking of the possibility that I could have been at Pulse that night if I had gone home. I can’t imagine what my mother would feel if it was through this tragedy that she found out my sexuality
