A Message From Staten Island Borough President James Oddo - "The Italian-American community on Staten Island continues to be large and vibrant. It is the largest community of its kind in the country. As a diverse community, we embrace these roots and celebrate them with our families through food and culture. In fact, we are thrilled to be the home of Rome Through Richmond Town, an annual event held on Columbus Day weekend... I'm encouraged that the Italian Tribune is recognizing Staten Island with a regular section on the Island and all we have to offer."

For 84 years, The Italian Tribune has woven current event articles and stories that form a connection with our past to our readers, celebrating our Italian-American heritage and culture. With have created our monthly section featuring Staten Island to better serve this vital and important part of our society. It is our hope that the Italian –America clubs and organizations will contact us with their stories and events so we can include them within our Calendar and Travels sections. Heading up our new project for The Italian Tribune's monthly supplement in Staten Island are brothers – Michael Manna and Carmine Manna, lifelong residents of Staten Island.
