🇮🇹 Celebrating the 80th Anniversary of the Italian Republic at one of the world’s most iconic venues: the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

An unforgettable evening brought together the Italian and Italian-American communities, institutional leaders, members of the consular corps, business executives, academics, artists, athletes, and friends of Italy from across Southern California.

This year’s celebration also marked the Third Italian Sport Day in the World in Los Angeles, highlighting the unique role of sport as a powerful tool for public diplomacy, cultural exchange, and international cooperation.

We were honored to welcome Olympic Champion Francesca Lollobrigida, whose extraordinary success at Milano Cortina 2026 symbolizes Italy’s sporting excellence and the road toward LA28. We were equally privileged to host Niccolò Campriani, Senior Vice President of Sports for LA28 and Olympic gold medalist, whose remarks underscored the strong connection between Italy and the future Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

A particularly meaningful moment of the evening was the lighting of the Olympic torch. Together, Consul General Raffaella Valentini and Olympic Champion Francesca Lollobrigida lit the torch, symbolizing the handover from Milano Cortina 2026 to Los Angeles 2028 and celebrating the shared values of excellence, resilience, friendship, and community that unite Italy and the United States. 🔥🏅

The evening concluded with a spectacular performance by the USC Trojan Marching Band, adding energy, tradition, and ceremony to this historic celebration.

As Italy celebrates 80 years of Republic and the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its independence, we proudly reaffirm the enduring friendship between our nations and the vital contribution of the Italian and Italian-American community to the cultural, economic, and social fabric of Southern California.

Viva la Repubblica Italiana! 🇮🇹
Thank you to all our sponsors and donors 🙏

🇪🇺 Team Europe in Los Angeles came together once again to reinforce dialogue, coordination, and partnership across our consular community, the 3rd largest in the world 🌎 💪

We were pleased to host the EU HOMs meeting in Los Angeles, organized by the Consul General of Croatia, Renee Pea, who also serves as Dean of the Los Angeles Consular Corps, and representing the current Cyprus EU Presidency.

It was a productive and engaging discussion, enriched by the presence of a special guest, former Governor of California, Gray Davis, who shared his insights on the outlook for upcoming California state elections, as well as broader political and policy dynamics shaping the state.

It was a pleasure to attend the 6th Annual Culinary Cup, hosted this year at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College (LATTC), celebrating the rich flavors and traditions of Sicily through extraordinary culinary talent and creativity.

Students from Los Angeles Mission College, Los Angeles Harbor College, and Los Angeles Trade-Technical College competed in this year’s exciting edition, showcasing remarkable skills, passion, and innovation in the kitchen.

From delicious dishes to inspiring exchanges, the event beautifully highlighted the importance of culinary education and cultural connections between Italy and Los Angeles.

Consul Lorenza Errighi delivered opening remarks, while Commercial Attaché Yvette Belardo joined the jury alongside legendary restaurateur Piero Selvaggio, Chef Celestino Drago, and Alessandra Malanga, Head of the Los Angeles Delegation of Accademia Italiana della Cucina.

A special touch of Sicily arrived through the beautiful traditional music performance by Michela Musolino. 🎶🇮🇹

Thank you to all the LATTC faculty and staff, including President Dr. Alfred McQuarters, for organizing such a meaningful initiative and for choosing to celebrate and promote Italian cuisine, culture, and culinary excellence through this inspiring competition.

One week has passed since the first mission of Ambassador Peronaci in Los Angeles, and we still look back on it with great satisfaction. 🇮🇹✨

It was an important moment for our team, for the entire Sistema Italia network in Los Angeles and for the Italian and Italian-American community, which had the opportunity to meet the Ambassador and engage in meaningful dialogue. From science to culture, from institutions to economic diplomacy, the visit highlighted the strength of coordinated teamwork and shared vision.

Over the course of these intense and inspiring days in Los Angeles, the mission included meetings with leading institutions such as California Institute of Technology and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a visit at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, encounters with the academic and creative community at the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles, institutional exchanges at City Hall with local authorities and moments with the Italian-American community, as well as a special evening dedicated to strengthening economic ties at the Bulgari terrace in collaboration with the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce West and the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce.

A week later, the enthusiasm and momentum generated by this mission continue. We are already looking forward to building new projects and future collaborations together. 🌍🤝 Grazie Ambasciatore !
