  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body, in  keeping  with

State of New York, in commemoration of the Republic of Italy's  National
Holiday, "Festa Della Repubblica Italiana," Italy's 4th of July; and

  WHEREAS,  Festa  Della  Repubblica  Italiana,  a national holiday in
Italy, marks the day when Italy voted, after World War II  and  fascism,

Italy's  glorious  historical  past,  the wealth of its present, and the
opportunities of its future; and

may know and appreciate Italian history and traditions, and of the  role
Italian  Americans  have  played,  and  will  continue  to  play, in our
society; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize  Governor  Andrew  M.  Cuomo  to  proclaim  June 3, 2019, as
