Celebrating the Feast of Saint Vincent Pallotti at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Pontifical Shrine in East Harlem, New York
Monday evening, I made a pilgrimage (I think a two-hour subway commute counts as a pilgrimage) to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Pontifical Shrine (448 E 116th St.) in East Harlem, New York for the Feast of St. Vincent Pallotti (1795-1850), founder of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate, the Pallottine Fathers, Brothers and Sisters.

Palazzo Berri-Meregalli
The building, which was built between 1911 and 1913, is a mix of architectural inspiration that spans diverse periods of time. This mishmash of styles blends antiquity with the contemporary designs of the early 20th century. Each detail in itself is a bit esoteric. The building’s arches mirror those found on old Roman loggias. Gargoyles, most commo...
Italian Holocaust Hero: Aldo Finzi
One cannot definitively state that Aldo Finzi was murdered by Mussolini. What is certain: the Fascist leader and the state he created did not contribute to Finzi’s health and well-being. Quite the contrary. Born in Milan in February 4, 1987, Finzi died February 7, 1945, of a heart attack. He did not have a history of heart disease. In fact, his fam...

Near the corner of Baxter and Canal Streets, on the border of New York City’s Little Italy and China Town, stands the Church of the Most Precious Blood (113 Baxter St.).

An eight-level behemoth parked at the intersection of San Vicente and La Cienega, the Beverly Center has never exactly enticed as a dining destination during its three decades.
