Share | Columbus Day Posted by news on Monday, 3 October, 2011, 11:58 AM NEW YORK — The Columbus Day Parade was led by a loud, visible show of the city's police force — motorcycles with sirens blaring as they performed zigzag turns and quick circles to demonstrate their agility. Mayor Michael Bloomberg waved an Italian flag Monday as he and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly led dozens of New York Police Department motorcycles and cruisers up Fifth Avenue. Behind them was a more festive spectacle, with marching bands and floats awash in the red, white and green of the Italian flag. "American Idol" star Pia Toscano performed from one float. But the crowd of tens of thousands that lined the parade route was thinner than in other years — only two or three deep at stretches. In previous years, hundreds of thousands watched. "It's very sad — there's hardly anybody here," said Roberto DeFilippi, wearing a T- shirt touting Italy's 2006 World Cup soccer championship. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, an Italian-American who walked in the parade several blocks behind the mayor and police commissioner, said the 67th-annual celebration gave spectators the chance to encounter Italians' "love of family, love of community and their love of this country." Teresa Branca, of Mamaroneck, north of the city, attended the parade for the first time with her 11-year-old son, Francesco, who draped the banner of the 2002 Italian World Cup soccer team across an iron police barricade, facing the marchers.
