IWL Gives Cookbook to Pope

Pope Francis graciously accepts a copy of our Italian Welfare League cookbook, Tavola Nostra, presented to his Holiness, by IWL Chairwoman, Joan Prezioso, during a papal audience sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations.

Fifty-four non-profit member organizations of COPOMAIO participated in this four day trip to Rome to reinforce ties between Italy and Americans of Italian heritage. In addition to Prezioso, who serves as Vice President of the umbrella organization, League Vice President, Geraldine Caggiano also attended.
