Show Notes
In north Denver, a new initiative seeks to establish the citys first Italian cultural historic district, Little Italy, to preserve key heritage sites in the Highland neighborhood. Led by young leaders Jenna Peccia and Dominic Ursetta, the movement aims to honor the Italian communitys significant contributions to Colorados history, including their roles in mining, railroads, and landmark construction. Despite facing discrimination, many Italians settled in north Denver, and this new push aims to unite the scattered community, draw Italian businesses, and highlight their contributions amidst rising immigrant tensions. The year-long process offers grants and tax breaks for upkeep, but requires design rules to maintain the areas character.
