I’m in Washington DC to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the NIAF, and I can't help but feel deeply moved seeing how this foundation has united generations of Italians and Italian-Americans. Although living far from our homeland, our community has never stopped carrying with it the richness of Italian tradition. It is an honor to be part of the Board of Directors of an organization that, for 50 years, has celebrated our culture and strengthened the ties between Italy and the United States. Being part of this project fills me with pride, especially seeing how the NIAF supports new generations, preserves our roots, and builds a future full of hope and opportunities. Celebrating these 50 years is not only about honoring our history but also our shared future. Alfonso Ruffo Anna Malafronte, MA, CLM Anthony O'Boyle On.
