🇮🇹 Happy Columbus Day from the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island! 🇮🇹

What a wonderful weekend celebrating our Italian heritage, traditions, and community! ❤️🤍💚

We kicked off the festivities Saturday evening with our 49th Annual Columbus Day Banquet, honoring Sandra J. Flowers, Ph.D., our 2026 Service Award Recipient.

Yesterday, the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island and our affiliated local lodges proudly came together to march in the Federal Hill Columbus Day Parade! It was a beautiful day filled with Italian pride, friendship, and community.

Today, we continue the celebration with our Columbus Day luncheon!

As we celebrate Italian Heritage Month, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our traditions, honoring those who came before us, and passing our heritage on to future generations. 🇮🇹❤️

A huge shoutout to our Grand Lodge of RI State President, who truly is an exceptional leader! Seeing him share these special moments with his daughters and grandchildren is a beautiful reminder of what our Italian heritage is all about — family, tradition, and the generations who carry it forward. ❤️🤍💚

Buon Columbus Day! 🇮🇹

From all of us at the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America — Grand Lodge of Rhode Island, we wish everyone a Happy Columbus Day!

🇮🇹 What an incredible day at Amici e Famiglia! 🇮🇹

We are still smiling after such an amazing afternoon at Alpine Country Club! ❤️🤍💚

Our Amici e Famiglia event was a wonderful success, filled with great food, laughter, friendship, Italian pride, and—most importantly—the people who make our OSDIA community so special.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, supported, donated, volunteered, and helped make this event possible. Your generosity and continued support allow the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island to carry on our mission of celebrating our Italian heritage while supporting scholarships, charities, and our communities.

Events like this are a beautiful reminder of what Amici e Famiglia — friends and family — is truly all about. 🇮🇹❤️

A special recognition to our Grand Lodge President, Ernest Ricci, whose dedication to this organization and the people in it is truly exceptional. The time, effort, and genuine care he puts into our Grand Lodge does not go unnoticed. We are incredibly fortunate to have his leadership. 🇮🇹

We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better group of people to share it with!

📸 Here are just a few of our favorite moments from an unforgettable day at Alpine!

Grazie mille to everyone who made it so special! 🇮🇹
