Christopher Columbus. but to those millions of Americans of Italian ancestry who on Columbus Day we also honor. In my State of New York. Columbus Day is set aside as an official holiday. This has been done not only to mark the date that great Italian discovered this continent. but to honor the men and women from Italy who emigrated to these shores. and to their descendants. We are a nation of immigrants. The cultural landscape of America is a vast mosaic created from the melding of many cultures and many customs from many lands. Each national group has left its mark.
