Associazione Italo Americana del Friuli Venezia Giulia: Hispanic Heritage Month

National Hispanic Heritage Month is the period when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans to U.S. heritage and culture.

Hispanic Heritage Month was proclaimed in 1988 by President Reagan. The Hispanic Americans constitute 17.8% of the population of the United States (July 2016). This makes Hispanic Americans the nation's largest ethnic or racial minority.

American Corner Trieste is celebrating with these initiatives that are Free and Open to the Public.
