hello welcome to Italics
the Italian-American magazine
I'm your host Anthony Tamburri
the summer season calls
bringing us all vacations and hiatus
as we finish this month's addition we present this our last program of the season
to you
first on Italics we'll take you to albany new york the state capitol
where the new york conference of Italian-American state legislators held their
annual public meeting
in a change of tradition and format this year, the conference celebrated Italian-
american day
on monday june sixth at the capitol
and the fsd pelli ayina later that evening in nearby troy
new york state senator joseph p_ full president of the conference presided
over the official ceremonies
this year's death in honorees included governor andrew cuomo and chazz
palminteri
later in the show will go to new orleans louisiana
and visit the American Italian Cultural Center formerly known as the mezzanine
museum and library
it has been preserving the history of Italians in the south for more than
forty years
we'll join Italics senior producer Bill Schempp as he meets with mister frankness
deadly
president of the AICC
and go to a recent event and it's got to the target
featuring a screening of italian actor friend commuters new film "Forever Blues"
now let's join the Italics camera crew in our state capital albany new
york
when jornal
i am children all the president's million american legislators amount that
all of you for coming here today
i welcome you to we think is going to be in
fun day and evening starting here today in the well of the legislative office
building you will have an opportunity to meet and greet a number of individuals
who will be sharing with you interesting information now you'll have great
entertainment
uh... good sampling of food this will be an opportunity for people to get for
millie are what what all was known and appreciate as a great culture it's been
very important for us to continue this tradition as you know
the comforts of italian american state legislators the bipartisan group called
has legislature
coming together to promote issues of concern to be telling american community
and that's very important for all new yorkers you know um... our community is
still the largest of the
of the ethnic groups in new york state and uh... and i think it is appropriate
to take time
out of our busy schedules to come together to talk about issues of concern
unfortunately for italian americans are fortunately i would against
um... we no longer celebrate our first
we no longer think it's important to pause and reflect where we are in the in
in terms of our accomplishments the fact is we have more if members of the
italian american community a members of the new york state legislator than any
other ethnic group
and in fact more than the black and latino caucus combined but yet we don't
reflect on that anymore
we don't reflect on the fact that we have two statewide of elected officials
andrew cuomo is an italian american i think he's only a second-generation
italian american pumping up only a statewide elected official and italian
american
we don't look at those accomplishments anymore because i think we've become the
victim of our own success we're seeing our italian american let of programs
being decimated at both the high school level
and the university level we're seeing the elimination of regents again with
respect to italian american studies we're seeing all of the things that we
should be
and advancing being diminished
so for the next few years ascetic riffle with the president of this merry band of
uh... legislators i'm gonna be working very closely with him and i know many of
you to make sure that we put the focus on protecting the things that we've
accomplished advancing italian studies both in in our uh... high school and in
our college levels and building bridges with italy
so that we can move forward and reconnect who we are as a people i'm a
first your legislator but im uh... no strangers erase i spent nine years
appears in a to a former some women

of the salt italian american community
this is best exemplified by the dynamic and unique celebration of saint joseph's
day
including elaborate saint joseph the authors of food to be given to the less
fortunate
