About National Italian-American Heritage Month
Education , United States
Ends: Oct 31, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Italian-American Heritage Month has been celebrated each year since 1999.
Italian Americans continue to be an essential demographic and part of the success of the United States since their first arrival in 1492. That's right, Christopher Columbus was Italian and the first European* to map the New World after he set foot in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492. The continents of North and South America are named after Amerigo Vespucci (March 9, 1451 - February 22, 1512), an Italian merchant and explorer. The first Italian to immigrate to the US was Pietro Cesare Alberti in 1635, and he settled in what would become New York City.
Italian Americans are the seventh largest ethnic group of immigrants to the US. Eighty-four percent of Italians arrived from southern Italy following the American Civil War from 1870-1914. Issues drawing Italians included a need for workers following the war, a lack of opportunity in Europe, and Italy's reunification in 1861.
Italian-American Heritage Month aims to honor and celebrate the contributions of this influential group to the nation and our culture.
*The Viking explorer Leif Erikson landed in Newfoundland, Canada, in 1000 AD, making him the first European to discover America.
