John R. Fugazzie formed the Authentic Italian Foods & Wines Association USA to collaborate and partner with any and all companies and organizations who produce, market and distribute Authentic Italian Foods in the USA.
The idea of forming this association has come from his many years in the food industry working for and with many retailers, importers, food associations and consulting. His desire to educate USA consumers, retailers and restaurants on the world class quality and value of Authentic Italian Foods & Wines and to assist in building the availability of these foods.
While a third generation born here in the US with an Italian heritage, John's family traces back to Genoa Italy.
The original family name is Fugazzi, which his grandfather John changed to "Americanize" it.
His passion for Italian foods has clearly been wired in this DNA. Many years of working in the supermarket industry, two stints in the Import foods business, and managing brands that simulate Italian items has provided him with the ability to create this new organization.
I am in the process of reaching out to various Italian food and beverage companies and associations that produce their product under the long standing methods and quality and workmanship that has made them world famous.

Historic opening for U.S. exports Italian salamiFrom May 28th salami, bacon cups and other meats at early age may be exported to the U.S.. It has been released today the measure by which the U.S. authorities of APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) have officially recognized the benefits of Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Piedmont and the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano from the vesicular disease pig.
It is a momentous event: one of the most important areas for the production of sausages than after more than 15 years of work, one of the non-tariff barriers that prevent the full development of Italian exports of meats in the world. "It is a first important result of the path taken by ASSICA to start exporting to the United States of important Italian cured meat products such as salami, bacon, coppa or salted pork, "said the President of ASSICA, Lisa Ferrarini. "In the U.S. the knowledge of Italian is widespread (and our products are also much imitated): Italian food products are particularly popular as evidenced by the purchase of cured hams, cooked hams and mortadella, which for years, can be exported . " "I can only thank the Italian and European health authorities for their work for the benefit of the entire sector," continued Lisa Ferrarini "This important success shows once again that if the industry works in a unified manner, through close coordination between the association and the public authorities, it is possible to obtain generalized benefits for businesses.ASSICA continue its strategic action to extend the measure to other regions today and to open new markets.

"Bacon makes everything better.” That’s one of our favorite sayings in the test kitchen, and it helps explain why our recipes frequently call for it, or for its Italian cousin, pancetta. Bacon and pancetta are both made from pork bellies; the difference between them lies in how they’re prepared and cured. To make bacon, pork belly sides are brined and then smoked. Pancetta, the Italian version of bacon, is made by seasoning a pork belly side with salt and lots of pepper, curling it into a tight roll, and wrapping it in a casing to hold the shape. It’s cured, but it isn’t smoked.

According to data recently published by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the turnover of the national wineries in the U.S. market was approximately $ 1.5 billion for a market share of 29.2% of total imports. In the ranking of exporting countries, Italy before France (1.4 billion share of 27.2%) and Australia (0.5 billion share of 10.6%). Competition from emerging countries, however, is becoming increasingly fierce. Argentina and Chile, in fact, have exported wines to 0.4 and 0.3 billion dollars – up, respectively, 17.7% and 16.4% over the previous year. Is negative the trend of Australia, whose market share has fallen from 14.4% in 2010 to 10.6% in 2012. Among the types of wines, the best performance recorded the sparkling wines from Italy, whose exports to the U.S. reached 187.7 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 5.6% compared to 2011. This figure is particularly positive given that the total U.S. imports of sparkling decreased by 0.9%. France remains the leading supplier of the product and has a market share of 65% ahead of Italy, with 24.1%. |

There are 17,815,289 Italian -Americans living in the United States (U.S. Census 2006-2008), and there is no central resource that connects this large community. The Italian-American experience is relatively brief, encompassing about 200 years of history, yet none of us possess a comprehensive knowledge of its scope and breadth.

Italian-Americans in the United States are found in large concentrations in many metropolitan areas of the United States. In particular, states such as New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Michigan, Florida, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts have larger populations of Italian-Americans than other states by national average. According to a recent United Census Bureau estimate, there are 17.8 million Americans are of Italian or Sicilian descent.[1] Communities of Italian Americans were established in most major industrial cities of the early 20th century, such as Baltimore, Boston (particularly in the "North End"), Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Providence, St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, Tampa and Kansas City and New York City, which boasts the largest Italian-American population, which lives in several concentrated communities around the Five-Borough area. New Orleans, Louisiana was the first site of immigration of Italians and Sicilians into America in the 19th century, before Italy was a unified nation-state. This was before New York Harbor and Baltimore became the preferred destinations for Italian immigrants.
In sharp contrast to the Northeast, most of the Southern states (exceptions being the Atlantic coast of Florida, Tampa, New Orleans, and a fast-growing community in Atlanta) have very few Italian-American residents. During the labor shortage in the 19th and early 20th centuries, planters in the Deep South did attract some Italian immigrants to work as sharecroppers, but they soon left the extreme anti-Italian discrimination and strict regimen of the plantations for towns or other states.
The state of California has had Italian-American residents since the 1850s. Since the 1950s, like many Americans, Italian Americans have moved to the slower-paced and rapidly growing Western states, including Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada.
Today, New York and New Jersey have the largest populations of Italian-Americans in the United States, while Rhode Island and Connecticut have the highest overall percentage in relation to their respective overall populations.
