Once again this year, We the Italians is asking you, our readers, to nominate the Italian American of the Year. This tradition began in 2022, with previous winners being Stanley Tucci (2022), Sylvester Stallone (2023) and Lady Gaga (2024). These three outstanding Italian Americans will therefore not be eligible for votes this year.
This time, we’re giving you the chance to choose from 10 nominees, selected from suggestions made by our 60 Ambassadors across the United States. You may vote for more than one candidate if you wish.
These are the nominees (in alphabetic order): 1) Adriana Trigiani. 2) Caitlin Clark. 3) Chazz Palminteri. 4) Gay Talese. 5) George Bochetto. 6) Martin Scorsese. 7) Mike Johnson. 8) Nonnas cast. 9) Ray Mancini. 10) Rosa DeLauro.

Thank you for an extraordinary 2025 – ciao from Rome!
