Dear Friends:

I am pleased to send warm greetings to all those gathered to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of L'IDEA Magazine. This is a special three-week event celebrating Italian heritage and culture. Congratulations to all those associated with L'IDEA Magazine. Your unique magazine, the only Italian one published in this country, helps keep Italian - Americans in touch with the culture, news and developments of Italy . As you take this occasion to reflect on your past accomplishments, please accept my best wishes for a future as successful as your past 25 years.

Sincerely

Rudolph W. Giuliani

Mayor
