Biographical / Historical
Cavaliere Angelo Bio was born in Sicily in 1934 and emigrated to Venezuela in 1951 and to the United States in 1958. He has been involved in the Italian-American Community in Newark since 1958. Bio was a member of the Center of Italian Culture at Seton Hall University and participated in many events held by the Center. In 2013 he was recognized for his involvement in the Italian and Italian-American community when he was awarded the “Cavaliere Al Merito Della Repubblica Italiana” from President Giorgio Napolitano of Italy.
The Center of Italian Culture was founded by Father Vincent Monella in 1960 and headquartered at Seton Hall University until 1968. Its mission was to promote the spiritual, intellectual, and cultural welfare of people of Italian origin and their families throughout New Jersey and to present to the community at large an appreciation of Italy’s cultural heritage. The Center held classes, social events, and cultural celebrations, including a number of events in 1961 commemorating the 100th anniversary of the unification of Italy in 1961.
