Brought to life by Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, 'Nuova York: Hidden in Plain Sight' is on a mission to uncover and showcase the tangible traces of Italian presence in New York City, which boasts the largest Italian-American population in North America and ranks as the third-largest Italian population outside of Italy itself.

Each episode of this series shines a spotlight on something special – be it a monument, a church, a store, a building, or even a street, answering those fundamental questions: when was it established, by whom, and why?

Share your feedback and let us in on your favorite Italian spot in New York City.
