The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion by Supervisor Janice Hahn to proclaim October 2025 as Italian American Heritage Month in Los Angeles County. Supervisor Hahn’s district includes San Pedro, which is home to approximately 45,000 Italian Americans—the largest Italian American community in Southern California.
“The roots of Italian heritage in Los Angeles County run deep. Italian immigrants and their descendants have helped shape who we are, and it was important that we recognize that legacy,” said Hahn. “From the Harbor Area to Hollywood and beyond, the contributions that Italians have and continue to make are extraordinary. And I’m honored to represent the historic heart of this community.”
