The Township of Little Falls held its annual ceremony on October 6, celebrating Italian American heritage and culture, as well as their significant contributions to the arts, science, and culture. Councilman Chris Vancheri hosted the ceremony, which took place in front of the municipal building. Vancheri said that it was an honor to reflect on "the rich culture, legacy, enduring values and remarkable contributions of Italian-Americans to the nation's story."
"From the earliest immigrants who arrived with little more than hope and determination, to the generations who followed, it helped shape the fabric of American society," he said. "Italian-Americans have left an indelible mark on culture, economy, and our communities. We see it in art, music, science, medicine, politics, and of course, in food that brings us all together around the table."
