The 2012 Globo Tricolore Award to the Brooklyn-based L’Idea Magazine.

The Brooklyn-based bilingual quarterly L’Idea Magazine was awarded the International “2012 Globo Tricolore Award” on July 7, 2012 at Fortezza Rocca Flea in Gualdo Tadino (Italy).
As their official website declares, the Globo Tricolore Award is similar to an Oscar for famous Italians abroad who are unknown in their homeland.
The “Globo Tricolore” is an award that exists in both television and publishing format (with its celebrity book), but it is also a moment in which Italian culture and business meet – an important showcase for the “Made in Italy” trademark and for Italian excellence. The award is represented by a world of white, red and green, representing the many Italians in every part of the world. The image of the Globo Tricolore thus symbolizes, both visually and figuratively, the pieces of Italy that can be found in every part of the globe. It represents a metaphor of how men and women of Italian origin have succeeded, due to their individual abilities and due in good part to their Italian roots, in creating works of art and professionalism in the cultural and entrepreneurial arenas outside the confines of our national borders.
The goal of the Award is to promote the role of Italians both in Italy and living abroad and to emphasize the added value of the cultural and entrepreneurial efforts they make to keep the memory of the great Italian migration alive. It promotes the projects of Italian associations throughout the world and the work of the Italian press abroad in an effort to make Italian talent known to an international audience.
The award was conferred upon L’Idea Magazine because of its almost 40 years at the service of the Italian and Italian American community in New York. The magazine has been previously officially named the “Voice of the Italians in America” by the Italian Consul in New York.
L’Idea Magazine has published 125 issues and it’s now entering a new phase with its Third Volume. Leonardo Campanile, Editor-in-Chief, and Tiziano Thomas Dossena, Editorial Director, unable to be presnt at the ceremony, sent their thanks for the honor received through their correspondent in Florence Antonio Degl’Innocenti.
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano declared that “the Globo Tricolore Award is undoubtedly a great inspiration in extending and enriching the pages of history with the names of those who have so greatly influenced social life.”

A week devoted to Dining Astoria

To celebrate the array of culture, delicious foods and dining experiences in Astoria, the Central Astoria Local Development Corporation (CALDC) will host “Dining Astoria” week from June 24 through 30.
Hundreds of restaurants will participate, offering prie-fixe menus, discounts and specials throughout the week.
A preliminary list compiled by CALDC includes Adriatic, Middle Eastern, South American, East and Western European, Asian, African, American and Continental restaurants, taverns, diners and ethnic fast food outlets.
At an unrelated event, Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. said Dining Astoria will spread awareness to the few people who may not already know that Astoria is the food capital of the city.
“I ‘Dine Astoria’ just about every day of my life,” Vallone said. “Few are still unaware of the food in Astoria, but for those who maybe just moved to New York City, they should know that not only can you get any kind of food imaginable in Astoria, it’s also the best tasting.”
Vallone added that eating in Astoria involves a whole experience, from dining in the ethnic holes-in-the-walls to lounging in the outdoor cafe’s along 30th Avenue.
“It’s an entire nice experience and this is going to get even more people to be aware of it,” he said.
Teresa Power, an Astoria resident who lives near 30th Avenue, said she also prefers to eat in her own neighborhood.
“I love it here, we eat here all the time,” she said.
Power said she prefers to eat along 30th Avenue because she can sit outside, but that Astoria as a whole has such good food because of its cultural diversity.
“There’s always people outside, which I love,” she said. “There’s such a mix of so many people.”

Jill Ann Rudzewick-Vik Passes Away

Jill Ann Rudzewick-Vik, 46, passed away Thursday, June 7, after a battle with cancer.
Rudzewick-Vik was a graduate of St. Stanislaus Kostka Elementary School, Christ the King, Mercy College and she did her master’s work at St. John’s University. In more recent years, Jill turned her attention toward helping St. Stanislaus School in Maspeth grow in enrollment and prestige. She was recently inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame.
“Jill was a person of intense love,” said St. Stanislaus principal, Sister Rose Torma. “Love for her family, love for Maspeth, but especially love for St. Stanislaus.
Sister Torma said that Rudzewick-Vik would often visit the classroom and teach the students about financial responsibility.
“She really wanted to inculcate in the children the habit of saving through their school bank accounts,” she said.
But Rudzewick-Vik’s lasting legacy at the school will undoubtedly be the annual dinner dance held to raise funds for scholarships at St. Stanislaus. Rudzewick-Vik was the primary organizer.
“She was working on it right up to the very end,” said Sister Torma. “The endowment will be her lasting legacy here at the school.”
She is survived by her parents Barbara and Kenneth, brothers Thomas, Glenn and Roger, and son Kristian and daughter Emily.
A wake was held on Saturday, June 9, and Sunday, June 10, at Papavero Funeral Home, 72-27 Grand Avenue, Maspeth. A funeral was held on Monday at St. Stanislaus Church, 57-15 61st Street, Maspeth.

To honor Rudzewick-Vik’s memory, donations can be made to St. Stanislaus Kostka School, 61-17 Grand Avenue, Maaspeth, NY 11378.
