AIFC's At the Table with Susan and Lucy

AIFC's Susan Molinari joined leaders at the @WilsonCenter, including Italian Minister of Economy and Finance H.E. Giancarlo Giorgetti & @RepMichaelRulli, to mark 165 years of U.S.-Italy relations and to highlight the vital role of trade, food access, and economic partnership. 🇺🇸🇮🇹

AIFC has submitted comments to @USTradeRep for the Section 301 investigation. Disrupting well-established supply chains would harm businesses and likely raise consumer prices without addressing core concerns of the U.S.-EU trading relationship. Read more: aifcoalition.org/updates/americ…

An unforgettable weekend! Proud to celebrate the Annual Easter Egg Hunt with the Italian Cultural Society & @ItalyinUSA, raising $30K for children’s health research. And our Co-Chairs Susan Molinari and Lucy Calautti were honored as Officers in the Order of the Star of Italy by Ambassador @MPeronaci!

Honoring excellence! At Villa Firenze, I had the pleasure to confer the Order of the Star of Italy to Susan Molinari & Lucy Calautti. Two extraordinary Italian Americans, co-chairs of the @AIFCoalition. Thank you for promoting Italian culture and high-quality food in the US.

The Olympics remind us that while countries compete on the world stage, we are united by shared experiences, including sport and food.🇺🇸🇮🇹 As the unforgettable #MilanoCorina2026 games come to a close, we congratulate the inspiring athletes of @TeamUSA and @ItaliaTeam_it. 🥇

Celebrate Team Italia 🇮🇹, Team USA 🇺🇸, and the way sports & food bring us together. Recipe linked below: aifcoalition.org/mangia-bene-1/…

As the #2026WinterOlympics come to a close, bring a taste of Lombardy to your table with our latest Mangia Bene recipe. Cotoletta alla Milanese—crispy, golden veal cutlet—is a simple, delicious classic from Northern Italy.

Italian cuisine and the Mediterranean Diet model are renowned for taste and health benefits around the world. Thank you, @CBSEveningNews for highlighting how #Olympics2026 athletes are fueling up on authentic, nutritious Italian food as they pursue gold! #MilanoCorina2026

Italian Christmas traditions are built on authentic ingredients that travel across borders. Strong trade relationships help protect these foods and the farmers and producers behind them. Buon Natale from the American Italian Food Coalition! 🇺🇸🇮🇹🎄🍝🍾

This isn’t just about pasta: it’s about the cost of putting food on the table when budgets are already stretched thin. Watch this @NewsHour report to understand why U.S. small businesses and consumers could feel the pinch from new duties on Italian pasta imports. #Affordability

This moment reminds us how food connects cultures, supports jobs, and fuels trade that benefits consumers, producers, and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic. 🇺🇸🇮🇹 cnn.com/2025/12/10/tra…

🍝 ☕️🍷History on the table! Italian cuisine is the world’s first national cuisine recognized by @UNESCO. This honor celebrates centuries of tradition, community, and shared meals around the world.

The AIFC supports the exemption requests being prepared by the EU for pasta, olive oil, and wine - as well as exclusions for all food products. A win-win for American consumers and our strong partnership with Italy. 🇮🇹🇺🇸

One way to promote #affordability would be to reduce or eliminate #tariffs on food. When families pay less for basic necessities like groceries, household budgets will feel real relief.

The @WSJ reports that Italian pastas could disappear from American grocery shelves due to an expected 107% price increase. We urge @CommerceGov to reconsider new duties in light of the existing tarriffs, the impact on consumers, and our strong partnership with Italy. 🇺🇸🇮🇹

We urge @CommerceGov to respond proportionally, and to consider the existing EU tariffs and our strong partnership with Italy before finalizing duties on certain imported Italian pastas. Read our full statement: aifcoalition.org/updates/americ…

🍝 It’s #WorldPastaDay — a celebration of the joy Italian pasta brings to millions of tables around the globe. 🇮🇹🇺🇸 But a proposed 91% duty combined with 15% tariffs could double the price of this pantry staple for American consumers.

We were honored to spend the weekend celebrating Italian-American culture, strengthening relationships, and enjoying fantastic speakers as part of @niaforg's 50th anniversary celebrations.  🇮🇹🇺🇸 Congratulations on half a century of bringing our two nations closer together!

Our co-chairs, fmr. Rep. Susan Molinari and Lucy Calautti, enjoyed seeing old and new friends at the welcome party celebrating @niaforg's 50th anniversary, including Italian Ambassador @MPeronaci and co-chair of the Italian American Congressional Delegation, @rosadelauro! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
