ALBERT BELMONTE
If you listen to Al Belmonte, you’d think that Casa Italia chose the wrong guy for their 2019 Man of the Year. “When they asked me, I thought they were joking,” Belmonte says. “I feel honored and a little floored.” But if you talk to anyone else in the community, you’ll know that the Casa got it exactly right. “He’s a man who knows where he’s needed and steps up to the task, and when he offers his help, he’s got it taken care of,” says 2019 Gala Chairperson Lisa Perkins. “Everybody who knows him loves him. He’s a gentleman and a friend.”
