A new Italian heritage website, with roots in Ellwood City, is available. Local residents are invited to visit eciahf.org and share their family stories with the community. The website is the creation of the Ellwood City Italian American Heritage Foundation. It was created to preserve the memory of the Italian immigrants who came to Ellwood City and the contributions they made to the community.

The organization is made up of second- and third-generation offspring of these immigrants who came from Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The nucleus of a group includes John Biondi, Grace DeCaria, John DeCaro, Sr., Norman Giancola, Cosmo Morabito, Bob Morabito, Virginia Ottaviani, Marino Parascenzo, Veronica Pacella, Ray Santillo, Samuel Teolis, Karen Williams and group leader Gene Morabito.
