In this column La Gazzetta will introduce notable members of our local Italian American community. We will hear from men and women whose ancestors’ contributions have resulted in today’s outstanding, productive citizens.

Married couple Michael and Rosanne Dando have given years of service and leadership in Warren, Ohio’s Italian American community. They are regular volunteers at the annual Warren Italian-American Heritage Festival that draws thousands to the four-day celebration on the grounds of the historic Trumbull County Court House. Let’s get to know them.
