We honor all of the Italians who made the journey from Italy to Kansas City! We wouldn’t be Italian-Americans if not for our family members who braved the journey to America. They immigrated to a foreign land where they were treated poorly. They made this sacrifice so that their children and their children’s children would have opportunities and freedoms not available in Italy. We are lucky because not only do we have Italian roots, but we live in the best country in the world!
