Every year, the community is drawn to the sounds and smells of Festa Italiana in Poughkeepsie. The city's Italian Center hosts the annual four-day event at its Mill Street headquarters.
Saturday's rain "hurt a little bit," but the attendance at the festival finished strong with Sunday's "awesome" weather, said Franco Giangrasso, Italian Center chairman and vice president. "This is our biggest event," Giangrasso said.
We the Italians is a company that in 10 years has become a key relational hub between Italy and the community of the more than 20 million Italian Americans in the United States. We have built a set of information channels that monthly reaches 3 million Italian Americans.
We have also consolidated an unparalleled geographical presence, structuring a network of more than 80 Ambassadors in all the Italian regions, across all 50 American states, plus ten focused on specific themes.
