Italian Americana is the first and only historical and cultural journal about the Italian experience in America. It was founded by Richard Gambino in 1974. Carol Albright is the editor-in-chief. John Paul Russo is co-editor and review editor and Christine Palamidessi Moore is the senior editor and the supplementary website editor (www.italianamericana.com). The journal contains historical articles, literary and cultural criticism, fiction, memoirs, poems, and reviews as well as an occasional report on dissertations having to do with Italian Americans. Succeeding Dana Gioia, who was poetry editor from 1994-2003, is the current editor, Michael Palma. Articles have ranged from topics on the paintings of Ralph Fasanella and the fiction and theatre of Don DeLillo, to Horatio Alger?s Italian Phil the Fiddler, the Sicilian latifondia, Italians and the Lawrence strike of 1912, and Protestant Italian Americans, among others. Award-winning authors, such as Salvatore LaPuma and Mary Caponegro (who received an honorable mention in the Best Short Stories of 1998 for work published in Italian Americana) have published stories and Jay Parini, Sandra Gilbert, and Lewis Turco have published their poems in the journal.
