So many categories in which Italians have made a cultural impact, most notably among these: food. The contribution is huge when we consider the culinary tradition of the US. Think about all the Italian American dishes: spaghetti with meatballs and tomato sauce, pasta Alfredo, Chicken Parmesan, Salads with Italian dressing or Penne with vodka, just to name some of them. “Today, Italian Americans are represented throughout U.S. society, from the Supreme Court to the National Academy of Sciences to the National Basketball Association - is written on the website of the United States Census Bureau - More than one hundred years after the great era of Italian immigration began, the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the original immigrants continue to celebrate the heritage that their forebears brought to their new home.” Over 5.4 million Italians immigrated to the United States between 1820 and 1992. Today almost 30 million of Americans with Italian descent live in the United States.

Usually a way to celebrate October Italian Heritage Month was to pick some days to spend with family and friends in some Italian restaurants or institutions. This year could be more complicated to gather together with a big group of people. But you can still celebrate Italy, cooking an Italian recipe (you can check our blog), buying the highest quality of Italian food (check the Magnifico selection), drinking a Negroni or a glass of prosecco or watching an Italian movie, for example. Magnifico Food will always be by your side in October like any other month of the year, choosing for you the best Italian products: pasta, rice, tomato sauce, coffee, pantries. The finest quality from Italy.
