    Kristine Jannuzzi(May 27, 2010)
    CGNY’s activities range from a night of tombola and pizza, to a soccer match, to a full-scale young Italian music festival and the Miss Italia Nel Mondo NY competition. More recently, the group has partnered with ANFE (Associazione Nazionale Famiglie Emigrate) to offer qualified Italians and Italian Americans of Sicilian descent the opportunity to rediscover their roots together in Sicily. From September 4-12, they will travel to some of the most spectacular places in Sicily, including Taormina, Palermo, the Aeolian Islands, Cefalu', and Mount Etna.
