fútbol had always been a huge part of my life,” he
said. “For many Italians, soccer is life.”
In 2002, DiGiorgio became the events director
at the Port St. Lucie Community Center. He was
there for six years and then moved to Port St.
Lucie Civic Center when it opened in 2008. His
most crowning achievement is Festival Italiano, an
authentic Italian festival, which marked its ninth
year in February.
As the festival’s events specialist, DiGiorgio
schedules Italian singers, dancers, food vendors
and artisans for the community to enjoy. He is also
proud that admission to the two-day event is free.
“We Italians love a bargain and I have worked
hard to provide a fun time for everyone, while
making sure there is not an entrance fee,” he said.
His sons, Dominic and Tonio, also lend a hand
in the planning. “It’s great having them help out,
he said. “I could not do it alone.”
In addition to all of this, DiGiorgio hosted
Saturday morning shows at WIRA 1400AM and
La Gigante 1330AM and recently started another
Italian radio show — The Jack & Dani Show.
This time around his programming is on Facebook.
“There has been a much better response to
radio this way,” he said.
As for the future, “I hope that the city continues
to grow and provides more support for small businesses
and clubs,” he said. “These things are what
make our home the best place to live.” E
