Mission. Our Mission is to promote events and activities throughout the month of October, and to act as a clearinghouse of information about Italy, and the contributions of Italians and Italian Americans.

Discover Italy on the World Wide Web. We maintain an extensive list of links to all things Italian. Click on the categories that appear on the left side of this page to tour our collection of links.

This Web Site. This web site is a work in progress. We have not
completed building all of the pages, and have not activated all of the
features. Work on this site will continue throughout the year. We
welcome your suggestions and ideas about this site or any of its
contents. Please direct your correspondence to our Web Master.

Notable Italians and Italian-Americans. There are many good sources of information about Italian-Americans who have achieved great success in the arts, sciences and other endeavors, but one excellent source is the compilation by the Dante Alighieri Society of Massachusetts, Inc. They also have included a list of the Italians and Italian-Americans who have won the Pritzker Prize, a Nobel Prize, or the Fields Medal, three of the most prestigious international awards in existence. Two other major national Italian-American organizations also maintain comprehensive web sites containing useful information on the
achievements of Italians and Italian-Americans. Readers are encouraged
to consult the web page of the Order of Sons of Italy in America and the National Italian-AmericanFoundation.
