Yes I am.  But  it made me feel more Italian.  You know, in the U.S. sometimes it's hard to preserve your culture and your heritage.
That is right. In this next quote, Diana explains how a street festival can help to preserve your culture and heritage.
Italian-Americans aren't looked on as a separate minority in this country; it becomes harder and harder to preserve your culture and heritage. So Festive Italiana really gives the active Italian-American population something to cling onto and a way to preserve their heritage, to promote the culture, the positive part of their culture.  
Cling onto means to hold tightly,  either with your hands like clinging onto to a rope or with your mind like clinging onto an  idea or your heritage.
Now let's hear again from Diana.
And it's important to the fabric of the United States It's important for all cultures to do that not just Italian-Americans.
So do I. Because fabric of the United States really describes the diversity of  the American culture.
What's that?
That's a great idea. But I think we have to wait a little bit. I just came back. But we can play some Italian music in the meantime.
