For the 17th consecutive year, the National Italian American Foundation will sponsor its Ambassador Peter F. Secchia Voyage of Discovery program, an educational and cultural initiative that sends Italian American students enrolled in a college or university to Italy each year. This all-expenses-paid trip will take place in June 2016.

The goal of the Ambassador Peter F. Secchia Voyage of Discovery program is to strengthen Italian American students' understanding of their heritage and the contributions Italy has made to the world.
"The Ambassador Peter F. Secchia Voyage of Discovery, a cornerstone program at the National Italian American Foundation, helps strengthen the Italian American identity by bonding young Italian Americans to the country, culture and heritage of Italy," said NIAF Director of Programs Gabriella Mileti. Today in its 16th year, the Voyage of Discovery is responsible for sending thousands of young, passionate Italian American students to Italy and for the fourth consecutive year, the students will also give back to their motherland through a community service project."
