Some of the most successful Italian-American artists and entertainers were in attendance, including Andy Garcia, Michael Imperioli, Joe Pantoliano and Diane Warren.

The festival which is co-chaired by Cheryl Boone Isaacs and Hayma Washington has proven to be a continued success in LA, while at the same time promoting the incredible culture of Italy and the impact it has had on the entertainment industry. Andy Garcia was honored with the LA/Italia Legend Award, as well as Franco Nero -while other attendees included Alan Murray Sound Editor of the oscar nominated A Star Is Born and writer/director Roberto Ando.

Overall, a wonderful event filled with positive energy from the Italian-Americans who are very happy to share their talents and appreciation with the world. We are very grateful for their contributions to the entertainment industry over the years and many more to come. A big thank you to Digney PR.
