You’re holding the only printed Italian-American
publication that serves the tri-state region known as the Delaware Valley. The Delaware Valley Italian-American Herald began as the concept of Philadelphia Councilman James Tayoun (1930-2017) and is carried forward (2013-present) by Today Media Publishing Co., a family business started by chairman Angelo Martinelli (1927-2018.)
Angelo was the longest-serving mayor of Yonkers, N.Y., holding office from 1974-1979 and from 1982-1987. He chose a life of public service even while raising a family of six sons with his Italian immigrant wife Carol Madatto.
Today the newspaper is proud to be part of a multi-state leader in publishing, led by brothers Rob and Richard Martinelli. They lost partner/brother Ralph in 2019.
You may know our sister publications Delaware Today Magazine, Main Line Today, The Hunt, Delaware Business Times, and in New York Westchester Magazine, Hudson Valley and 914 Inc. Today Media has also become a leader in local events and digital products, with a custom communications division specializing in health-care magazines and tourism products such as the Cape May- Lewes Ferry Guide.
In the last year, as the new associate publisher, I’ve been proud to represent
the IAH, both here and in Italy, in print
as well as online. Visitors to our website ItalianAmericanHerald.com will find bonus features including free “Calendar of Events” listings for Italian organization meetings, festivals and community programs.
With today’s interest in culture, it is important to take pride in being Italian American and passing on the history of our heritage. IAH feels duty-bound to proudly take up that task.
We’re plugging in to the Italian-American community with coverage of events and festivals. We’re bringing you reviews of books by Italian-American writers from our own towns. We’re tapping into the expertise of academics such as Dr. Domenico Pratico
