Last night, in honor of the victims of the earthquake in Italy, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo directed One World Trade Center’s 408-foot spire lit up in green, white and red the colors of the Italian flag. 2.7 million Italian Americans call the Empire State home and Governor Cuomo said, “The people of Italy have shown courage and resilience throughout this natural disaster, and New Yorkers continue to keep them in our thoughts and prayers. “ He added, “New York stands ready to lend our support in the weeks and months to come – just as Italy did for New Yorkers in our time of need.”
