MEMORANDUM

Posted:	August 29, 2022 04:04 PM
From:	Senator John DiSanto
To:	All Senate members
Subject:	Recognizing October 2022 as “Italian-American Heritage Month”

In observance of Columbus Day and in recognition of the Sons and Daughters of Italy, I am introducing a resolution recognizing the month of October 2022 as “Italian-American Heritage Month” in Pennsylvania. An Italian, Christopher Columbus, embarked on what would end up being four trips across the Atlantic Ocean starting in 1492, where he came upon the Americas in his voyages. His journeys resulted in centuries of explorations on the continents and have contributed to the Italian immigration in Pennsylvania. As a result, Americans of Italian descent have become one of the Commonwealth’s most influential ethnic groups, with the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania Sons and Daughters of Italy working hard for many decades to uphold the positive image of Italian heritage. Please join me in celebrating Italian-American Heritage Month. The full text of my resolution is attached.
