'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America
The Italian foreign minister, the Italian ambassador, several Italian-American members of Congress and leaders of scores of Italian-American organizations crowded into a hallway of the National Gallery of Art this week to celebrate a nation that – as they said – was discovered by an Italian and named after one.
Ambassador Claudio Bisogniero read a message from Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, who said the year-long celebration will "sow the seeds of a new partnership."
