Italian Heritage Month - October 2022
Italian-American Heritage and Culture Month is celebrated by proclamation of the President and Congress in the United States to honor the achievements and contributions of Italian immigrants and their descendants living in the United States, particularly in the arts, science, and culture. Events are held throughout the month, celebrating and educating the public about Italian-American history and culture. It was first celebrated in 1989.
The heritage month is in October to coincide with Columbus Day, the American national holiday traditionally celebrated on October 12, now celebrated on the second Monday in October. Nations usually proclaim Heritage Months to celebrate centuries of contributions by a group to a country.
In tribute to all Italian Americans, the US Congress, by Pub.L. 101–128, designated the month of October 1989 as "Italian-American Heritage and Culture Month." Congress again proclaimed October as Italian-American Heritage and Culture Month for 1990 and 1993/1994.
Officially Recognized In Massachusetts
Italian Heritage Month celebrated its 20th Anniversary in October 2019. The annual kickoff was held on Tuesday, October 1, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at the House Chamber, 3rd Floor of the State House in Boston.
Celebrations in 2022 will be forthcoming in October.
