“Being here moves me deeply, because it makes me think about the value of our roots and our deep attachment to our beloved homeland, Italy.” Alberto Leonardis, President and CEO of SAE Group, spoke in Washington during the 51st NIAF Gala, which this year provided the backdrop for the partnership between La Stampa USA and the National Italian American Foundation.

Leonardis announced plans to establish, together with NIAF, a training school focused on the future of journalism, aimed at young Italian Americans, some of whom could become the next generation of journalists at La Stampa USA.
