As we kick off our "Italian in Connecticut" week-long celebration, we wanted to introduce you to one Italian American who is near and dear to our hearts. He started this television station, the very first TV station in Connecticut, and everyone called him "Uncle Aldo."
He was the chain smoking, fast driving, big hearted man who brought the magic of television to Connecticut. Aldo DeDominicis came here from Italy in 1920 when he was just 16 in search of a better life, and despite his third grade education, what a life he made.
