Celebrate Italian American Heritage Month, October 2008, with Thirty-One Days of Italians.
A new vote will be held this year.
Details will be posted soon.
2007 was the first year celebrating
Italian American Heritage Month through Thirty-One Days of Italians. My hope is that, each year, more people will join
in the celebrations for each day in October; and each year numerous celebrations will be held throughout America.
2007 Quick Facts lists the dates and names for each person being honored in October. At Contributing to America, each description includes links for more information. The Media Bios are in two versions; the shorter version is for publications
that are limited on space.
October starts with a day to
honor Italian immigrants. The links at Contributing to America lead to a variety of Web sites that offer many views of the immigrants. Reading, learning, talking about the immigrants
and their experiences, and doing something special in their honor are ways to celebrate.
Thirty-One Days of Italians
was created to educate all nationalities not only about the accomplishments of Italians and Italian Americans, but also about
Italian culture.

Ideas for celebrating Italian American Heritage Month
Make
every day an Italian cultural experience.
Each day, read the
description of the person being honored and click on the links to learn more about that person.
Involve family, friends,
and business associates in the celebration by sharing what you learn with them.
Get children involved
by having them participate in gathering information.
Do an online search
to learn about a town or region in Italy that is mentioned. Research its history.
Search for recipes
from the town or region to learn about the food. Prepare a recipe.
When learning about
the musicians honored, listen to their music. On other days, listen to music from Italy.
