About the Italian Walk of Fame
The Italian Walk of Fame is located in the heart of downtown’s famed tourist destination known as “Little Italy”. “The ‘Walk’ aims to celebrate the extraordinary achievements and significant contributions of Italians in all fields and industries, both locally and globally”, said Co-Founder Jimi Bertucci, who grew up in Toronto’s “Little Italy”.
“At last year’s historical event, we began the tradition of placing stars bearing the names of these individuals permanently and prominently on the sidewalk in Little Italy. Six individuals were recognized with a lasting reminder of their contributions and accomplishments. The unprecedented support from the community for the first chapter of this ongoing celebration was overwhelming”, said Co-Founder Marisa Beaco-Lang. Due to the overwhelming public presence, College Street, between Clinton and Grace Streets will be temporarily closed for the Induction ceremonies, allowing the Toronto public a live look at the honoured guests.
