The Cleveland Italian American Heritage Committee in partnership with the City of Cleveland Mayor’s Office and Cleveland City Council is proud to announce the honorees for 2021 Italian American Heritage Month in Cleveland, Ohio. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the City of Cleveland has enacted restrictions on the size of events which requires a limit on the number permitted to attend.

Therefore, the Opening Ceremony for Cleveland Italian American Heritage Month scheduled for Monday, October 4, 2021 will be a private event for honorees and their guests only. The members of the Cleveland Italian American Heritage Committee are disappointed that the community won’t be able to gather together in person again this year, but we hope you will join us virtually either via live-stream or by watching a recording.
