Our Story
The idea of an Italian ethnic weekend in Western Pennsylvania was conceived by Rich Celani in 1980. He enlisted the aid of a few Italian friends and the ITALIAN HERITAGE FESTIVAL of 1982 was born.
The Festival was originally dedicated 1) to preserve the Italian culture in Washington County 2)to keep alive the traditions of the Italian family 3) to compile a complete listing of our forefathers who were pioneers here and 4) to maintain a current list of their children and others Italians who have contributed to the growth and excellence of Western Pennsylvania especially Washington County, Pennsylvania .
