🇮🇹🇺🇸 Was your family part of New Haven's Italian story? Come celebrate it with us!

On Saturday, October 24, Southern Connecticut State University hosts "New Haven's Italian American Story: A Symposium for America's 250th", a morning celebrating the immigrants, families, and neighborhoods that helped build our city.

We're honored to welcome Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro and His Excellency Marco Peronaci, Ambassador of Italy to the United States, along with an extraordinary lineup of voices from across our community, including Hon. Guido Calabresi, Dr. Anthony Tamburri, and Dr. Dennis Cerrotti. They'll be joined by a roundtable conversation with Joseph Carbone, Sr. Doretta D'Albero, ASCJ, Marc Massaro, John Migliaro, and Francesca Scarpa, and a tribute to oral historian Anthony Riccio by Frank Carrano of the Wooster Square Italian Immigrant Historical Society.

Together, we'll celebrate Italian American contributions to New Haven's arts, civic life, politics, business and social justice.
Then stay for the reception: refreshments, historic photographs, and interactive displays from the La Colonia Digital Archive. Bring your own family stories and photos to share!
