PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Did you know that the first Italians arrived in Denver in the 1870’s? Many came directly from Italy, leaving behind their poverty-stricken country in search of the land of opportunity. Instead, they found more poverty and discrimination. Having brought with them their own culture, food, style and more, they survived and flourished. Today we know that, despite its grim beginnings, the Italian community had, and continues to have, a significant impact on Denver and its culture. In 1985, the Dante Alighieri Society of Denver was chartered and today still “exists to share and celebrate the richness of the Italian culture and language with the entire community”. To learn more about Italian history, culture, and its influence, please join us as we spread the word about all things Italian. Grazie!

Grazie, John Giardino.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Buon Anno! This is the time of year when people reflect on what they’ve accomplished over the past twelve months and envision what they would like to accomplish over the next twelve. Your Dante Alighieri Society is no different. We are proud of what we brought to our members in 2023 but are already thinking and planning what we can do to make the Society even more interesting, engaging and fun in 2024, for members and potential members alike. I continue to ask not only for your support but also for your thoughts, good and bad. Together, that’s the best way to fulfill our mission, “to share and celebrate the richness of the Italian culture and language with the entire community”.

Grazie e tutto il meglio per il nuovo anno! John Giardino

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Buon Natale! Except for the last remaining days of December, 2023 is all but past. I’m happy to report that the Dante Alighieri Society has had another successful year of fulfilling its mission – to share and celebrate the richness of the Italian culture and language with the entire community. Looking back, this year has been a busy one with language classes, cultural programs, films, awards, scholarships, Italian Heritage Month, and more, culminating in our Annual Christmas Party. I hope you plan to be a part of the festivities not only to celebrate the season but to be with friends and family who share your love of all things Italian. See you there! If you can’t make it then let me now wish you a Joyous and Peaceful Christmas.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Thanks to the leadership and hard work of the Committee, Italian Heritage Month has been a success. The varied events have honored and celebrated the contributions of Italians to society. While attendance at most events has been good, I hoped for larger numbers. Likewise, I would like to see increased participation at next year’s events. The Committee brainstormed to determine what to offer that Italophiles might want to see. But it makes sense to me that you, the members, are the best source of that information. If you attended any events, and, more importantly, if you didn’t, what would you like to see next year that would make you want to be a part of, or a bigger part of the Italian Heritage Month celebration? This is your organization, and we want to make sure that you’re getting your money’s worth. I’m here to listen and learn, so please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions, concerns, or suggestions on this or any topic.

Grazie, John Giardino
