Information About Donating
In September 2006, while researching and writing the
October issue of Tutto Italiano, I wondered why Italian American Heritage Month wasn’t commonly celebrated throughout the United
States. "It needs to be promoted," I thought, and the idea of
Thirty-One
Days of Italians was born.
"In celebration of Italian heritage, I’ve compiled
a list of Italians and Italian Americans who should be recognized for their extraordinary achievements. There are many, but
this list is limited to 31 – one for each day in October. This list will be sent to the media each year to
assist in publicizing Italian American Heritage Month."
Thirty-One Days of Italians
continues to evolve. Resources are updated and new links are added to make this website a reliable source of information for
Italian American history. (See timeline of updates.) Suggestions are welcome, but the person must have made a significant contribution to America to be added.
This ongoing project takes a substantial amount of time. Please
consider donating to keep it current and to support an Italian American History curriculum.

Thirty-One Days of Italians
Thirty-One
Days of Italians is dedicated to promoting Italian American history nationwide, focusing on the men and women who
have made significant contributions to American history. A brief biography has been compiled for each name and numerous verified
resources are included, making this website a portal for research in Italian American History.
The
names and resources have become the basis for an Italian American History curriculum that is currently being developed. It is important that this history be acknowledged
and taught in public schools. Your donations will make this possible and are fully tax deductible under the non-profit status
of the Italian Historical Society of America, a fiscal sponsor.
