Today in the Loop Internet Studio Brian sits down with Jeff Casella, Chair of the Felittese Festival, an Italian tradition that started almost 100 years ago. What if traditions from a small Italian town could transform a community across the ocean? Join us as we sit down with Jeff to uncover the enchanting history of the Felittese Italian Festival in Old Forge, scheduled for September 6th, 7th, and 8th. Jeff takes us on a heartfelt journey through the lives of Italian immigrants from Felitto, Italy, who settled in Old Forge. Learn about the personal family stories, challenging conditions, and the traditions that have shaped the community’s rich cultural tapestry. From the annual clam bake to the founding of local institutions, Jeff paints a vivid picture of a community that has preserved its heritage through hardship and time. His stories, including the Blue Devils mascot origin and the unique way Old Forge serves pizza, add a layer of depth and connection to the vibrant local culture.
