Greetings to all. As the President of WisItalia it gives me great pleasure to announce our 2015 WisItalia Italian Teacher of the Year Award recipient, Mr. Steven Falsetti.

Mr. Falsetti was nominated by Ms. Janine Cano Graber, principle at Victory K-8 School For The Gifted and Talented and Italian Immersion and approved by the Officers and Directors of WisItalia. Steve has worked hard for the past 6 years in developing the Italian program at Victory and his contributions have been essential to the program's success.


Additionally, WisItalia would like congratulate Tom Balistreri who will be receiving the WisItalia 2015 Presidents Award for his contributions to the teaching of the Italian language in our K – 12 schools in Wisconsin. Tom was an essential contributor to our efforts and to establishing the program at Victory K-8 School for the Gifted and Talented and Italian Immersion.


And finally, WisItalia would like to congratulate Anna Pitzo, who will be receiving the WisItalia 2015 Italian Cultural Contribution Award for her many years of teaching and promoting Italian Language and Culture. Anna's contributions have enriched not only the Italian American community but the Milwaukee community at large.
