Although geography tends not to be the most scintillation of subjects, plenty of the folks attending the Washington Italian Heritage Festival on Saturday spent quite a bit of time looking at map. “This is the most popular thing, I think, of the whole festival,” Tina Calabro said before thinking twice and adding, “Besides the food.”
The South Strabane Township native stationed herself throughout the event at a table representing the Italian Heritage Collection at Citizens Library, stationed next to a sizable map of the national called Italia in its native language. “We have push pins and a magnifying glass, and people of Italian heritage want to look and find that town. We have such a dedication to our roots,” Calabro explained. “So it’s something we bring back every year.”
