Mario Romano was inaugurated as the new president of the Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn during the 54th annual Installation Dinner. In his acceptance speech, he highlighted the importance of practicing law as a calling that honors the community and heritage, making ancestors proud. Romano humorously asserted that being Italian-American is a privilege in Brooklyn. He also paid tribute to his late father, expressing hope that his father would be proud of his achievements. The event marked the introduction of new officers for the association.
The practice of law is more than just a profession; it's a calling. It's how we honor our community, uphold our heritage and make our ancestors proud.
When referring to Italians, Romano declared, 'There are only two types of people in this world: Italians and those who want to be. Anyone who disagrees with this is lying.'
Romano reflected on his late father's influence, stating, 'He never got to see me graduate. But I hope tonight, he's looking down on me proud.'
