October, the month dedicated to Italian Heritage, is about to end. It’s been an eventful four weeks for the world and for the US, a month encased in a year, 2020, which has brought to all of us pain, worry, fear.

A particular month for the US especially, with a presidential election just around the corner, the POTUS catching and recovering from Covid-19 and fears for health rising once again. So much so one could almost think, in fact, that Italian-Americans, this year, had something else in mind rather than celebrating their heritage.
