 Columbus Day is also Italian American Heritage Day! 

This year they are both recognized on October 12, which 

is also the date Columbus discovered America.


Columbus Day is not only a national holiday but is a recognized

 holiday in many cities and states across the nation. When we 

celebrate Columbus Day we are celebrating the arrival of Western 

Civilization to the Western Hemisphere and our own arrival on 

these shores. The Columbus holiday has long been associated with

 Italian Americans as a symbol of their national pride and identity 

and their enormous contributions to America. The holiday is 

celebrated throughout Italian-America with parades and festivals. 

It is the one day of the year that Italian Americans across the 

nation celebrate their heritage together.
