Luigi Palma Di Cesnola. the founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. who. as a Union general in the Civil War. was the first of many ItalianAmericans to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Constantino Brumidi. called the Michelangelo of the U.S. Capitol. Enrico Fermi. the father of nuclear science. and Mother Cabrini. the first American to be proclaimed a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. It is impossible to find a field. be it in the arts. science. business. labor. or politics where Italian immigrants and their descendants. have not excelled. I am proud to cosponsor this resolution.
