C .Po. L ByDevTobin hristopher Columbus' of America in­ spires often passionate academic disputes-Was he really the first European to discover the West­ Cem Hemisphere? Was he the vanguard of evil colonial exploitation? Did he know where he was going, even after he got there? But outside the ivory towers, one thing is beyond doubt. This pioneering Genoese seafarer- Admiral of the Ocean Sea - is a traditional symbol of pride for Italian-Americans, who celebrate their heritage every year during the early fall Columbus Day holiday week­ end. For the seventh year, local Italian-Americans will march in a Columbus Day parade and put on a street festival in Albany's Washington Park. The parade begins at South Main and Western avenues at 1 p.m. Sunday, winds down Western to Washington Park, and ends near the lakehouse, where, after a few speeches, the festival be­ gins. The grand marshal this year is state Supreme Court Judge Anthony V. Cardona ofWesterlo, presiding justice ·of the Appellate Division's Third Department. The parade's music will be highlighted by the 199th Army Band, also known as the Governor's Band, which is the premier musical group of the New York National Guard. 'We're delighted to have the Governor's Band join us this year," said Steven Longo, president of the Columbus Parade and Italian Festival. Local bands marching in the parade include the Al­ bany Police Pipe Band, the Christian Brothers Academy marching band, the Yankee Doodle Band, the Dixieland Ambassadors Jazz Band and high school bands from Lansingburgh, Mohonasen and Johnstown. Also marching will be hundreds of proud members of '• the sponsoring organizations - the Italian-American Community Center, the West Albany Italian Benevolent Society and the Sons of Italy Lodge. The city of Albany also sponsors the events. Whatever some professors may think of Columbus, "He's our symbol just like St. Patrick is for the Irish," said The Italian-American Community Center food Sal D'Amore of the West Albany Italian Benevolent Soci­ will feature eggplant pa-:magiana, sausage a.1d peppers, ety. pizza, pasta fagioli, pizza fritta, mozzarella sticks, fried The parade and festival are "a time for Italian-Ameri­ calamari, greens and be;;n8 and Italian submarine sand­ cans to celebrate their heritage, to get together with wiches, according to To:-,y Mirabile, who is co-chairman family and friends for a festive day in the park with of the center's parade/festival committee. tremendous food," D'Amore said. -'This is our seventh year~ and we keep growi:tg every The Albany festival, like the famous San Gennaro year," Mirabile said. festival in Manhattan's Little Italy, will feature authentic The festival runs until6 p.m. Italian foods, music by the Velvet Touch and others for listening and dancing, a beer and wine garden and games At past Columbus Day parades, above, Wanda and rides for the children.
