A beautiful collage of religion. music. art. government. and commerce. this legacy has stretched from the days of ancient Rome until the very present. From Roman law to modern high fashion. from the Coliseum to the Via Veneto. from Virgil and Ovid to Puccini and Giuseppe Verdi. this neverending line of accomplishments has stretched itself over an entire millennium. The heirs of that tradition who live in our Nation6 million Italian immigrants and millions of their offspringhave continued that tradition of excellence. Today. as a result. the culture of the United States is blessed with the many contributions in the arts. business. and government that this special community and its people have made. Like the American pioneers who ventured west in wooden wagons to meet the challenges of the prairie.
