Family and friends gathered at Columbus Square Park for the third annual Italian Heritage Festival, celebrating their heritage and remembering Carl DiCapo, the longtime owner of Italian Gardens restaurant in downtown Kansas City.
The festival featured food and music in honor of DiCapo, who also volunteered for the Salvation Army. “My father was Carl J. DiCapo. He was a board member of the Salvation Army, raised a lot of money, did a lot of good things. He was a civic leader,” his son, John David DiCapo, said.
