It's been months since April, when we celebrated Al Pacino's Birthday. Tony Bennett's birthday has passed, too. Robert DeNiro's birthday was August 17th. Understandably some of you may be craving a little spaghetti, a little tiramisu?Are you slapping your forehead in disgust because there you sit, realizing that you forgot the cannoli?! Careful. The boss might frown if you spontaneously explode into a tarantella.
Hey, paisan! Here are some Italian Festivals and gatherings to soothe that raging passion inside. Misenti-Despres Designs has got you covered. :-)
