My Italian father-in-law says:

Regardless of which type you are, Columbus Day is worthy of celebration.
Two years ago this holiday became much more significant to me, as I was lucky enough to be one of the gondoliers riding down 5th Avenue in the Columbus Day Parade in New York City.
Thanks to Nereo Zane and his Nikon, here are a few photos from the event.
