This month is a time to step back, before the holidays are upon us, to appreciate all the wonderful things we have. We, at La Gazzetta Italiana, are very grateful to all of you that subscribe, advertise, and carry the newspaper in your businesses. Without you, we would not be here today.

If you have a passion for writing and are looking to help support our newspaper, please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We are especially looking for writers in the Akron, Youngstown, Columbus, and Pittsburgh areas. We know many of our readers would love to see more localized news.

We are also seeking commission-based sales representatives in the above-mentioned areas. The paper continues to grow and we know that would not be possible without all our loyal readers and advertisers.

Please enjoy this article from our friend Joanna Lucarino printed in November 2019. We look forward to hearing from you and Happy Thanksgiving!

Once upon a time in the land of Venosa, there lived a prince, Alberico Boncompagni Ludovisi, born in 1918, a descendant of a 1,000-year-old line of Italian royalty which included Popes Gregory XIII and XV. This introverted prince was not interested in princely duties but rather the land and agriculture.
