What do Dean Martin, Phil Esposito, Connie Francis, Johnny Lombardi, Frank Iacobucci, Julian Fantino, Connie Stevens, Frank Mancuso, Roberto Luongo and Lou Biffis have in common?

They, together with a proud group of others, are all Italian Walk of Fame Inductees!

The Italian Walk of Fame aims to contribute to the cultural awareness, preservation and education of Italian heritage by recognizing and celebrating the achievements of Italians who have excelled within their respective fields both locally and globally. The inductees share a common spirit and vision and they have all distinguished themselves with their accomplishments across a variety of industries including business, science, art, film, theatre, finance, medicine, literature, architecture, religion and politics. This spring Lou, along with three other inductees, will receive a permanent home within the esteemed line-up of stars.

Established in 2009, the Italian Walk of Fame is appropriately located in the heart of downtown Toronto’s famed tourist destination know as “Little Italy” and within the city that is home to the largest community of Italians outside

of Italy. Stars, honouring deserving individuals of Italian origin, are placed permanently and prominently in the sidewalk and unveiled annually during a red carpet ceremony in Little Italy on College Street.

The 5th annual red carpet star unveiling ceremonies will take place on June 15. For more information visit www.italianwalkoffame.com
