| NIAF Joins Italian PM to Celebrate Columbus Statue in NYC |
| |
| Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni paid tribute to Christopher Columbus by participating in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Columbus statue in Manhattan. This meaningful event came as the city held a hearing to discuss bills that could allow the removal of monuments honoring historical figures. As honoring Columbus's legacy aligns with NIAF's mission, our leadership was honored to have been invited to join Meloni in celebrating this iconic symbol of Italian American heritage.

| Olivieri 1882 – Panettone direct from Italy |
| |
| Since 1882, the Olivieri family has been making panettone by hand in the Northern Italian city of Arzignano, using only the highest-quality ingredients and recipes that have remained largely unchanged. These panettone are the real deal, and have been recognized by the Gambero Rosso food guide and won the 2019 International Great Taste Awards in London. Whether you're looking for a traditional panettone or one filled with chocolate, pear, peach, or apricots and salted caramel, rest assured that these panettone (and their Veronese cousin, pandoro) are made with a process that's been refined by generations of the Olivieri family! Special discount coming soon for NIAF members.
