Love your Italian roots? Join NBICF today!
Yesterday, Sunday, more than seventy readers of Under the Light of the Italian Moon and lovers of Italy came together on zoom for Italian Roots, Untold Stories. We had a conversation from Italy with author Jennifer Anton, and afterward NBICF members shared our own family stories. We were all inspired to keep digging and documenting our information to share with future generations. If you love your Italian roots and want to share your stories and get inspired to write your story (doesn't have to be a book!), join our organization. We are here to preserve and promote the Italian heritage.

We recently honored four remarkable leaders who've made a lasting impact on our Italian organization. George Golfieri's 12-year presidency brought history to the forefront. Don Raimondi's tech expertise kept us connected for 20 years. Virginia Wilburn's decades-long dedication and Les Villanyi's musical talents were just a few highlights. We celebrated with food, music, and gratitude. ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น ๐Ÿฅ‡
