Italian-American Cultural Heritage Event - A Musical Celebration with Gianvito Bottalico

Join us for a special musical event celebrating Italian-American Cultural Heritage co-sponsored by the John Michael Marino Lodge of Port Washington.  Gianvito Bottalico, who is a proud Italian-American, will perform both traditional Italian songs and arias from famous Italian operas, as well as other popular Italian and American songs by such artists as Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Louis Prima. He has performed at many events throughout the New York City area, including Lions Club events, Knights of Columbus events, rehab centers, New York State Sons and Daughters of Italy events,  and Casa Belvedere in Staten Island and at the Garibaldi-Meucci Museum in Staten Island.  Mr. Bottalico, who is also a talented sculptor and artist, has said, “Art in any form is an open window into the soul of the creator.”

This event is made possible through the OSDIA John Michael Marino Lodge #1389 and the John Michael Marino Foundation, both located here in Port Washington.  The JMM Foundation supports many local charities and educational programs, provides scholarships for local students and works to support educational and cultural programs that will foster an awareness of Italian-American heritage.  Join us to celebrate the rich history of Italian-America culture.  Refreshments will be served.
