The City of New Rochelle celebrated Columbus Day on Monday with a brief ceremony at Hudson Park.
The annual ceremony is presented by the Calabria Society of New Rochelle. The event was held at the site of a statue of Christopher Columbus.
Officials say it's a reminder to remember the contributions of Italian-Americans and the major role they played in the city's development.
The Calabria Society was formed in 1935 and since then has been active in civic affairs in New Rochelle, Westchester and Italy.
