That unshakable sense of family. Close-knit neighborhoods and communities. Sunday dinners and boisterous gatherings with the entire family. Sitting around the dinner table laughing, talking, arguing and loving...

These are just some of the touchstones of our Italian American culture that have come under increasing pressure in recent years. The stresses and stimulations of an ever-more-hectic world mean that families are often living farther apart than ever, ethnic neighborhoods are increasingly lost to the specter of “gentrification,” and many lose touch with their Italian roots, while the previous generations of Italians who are capsules of tradition, family history, and culture grow older or leave us, taking their treasury of identity with them.

But what if we could use technology to evolve these traditions in a new way?

Introducing: The New Neighborhood - A Place for Italian Americans, a vibrant, close-knit Facebook group for our most passionate listeners.
