New York, NY – The Italian American Baseball Foundation (IABF) is proud to announce the release of “Andiamo”, a powerful new mini-documentary chronicling its mission to grow baseball across Italy. It will debut on CIAO USA TV on Saturday, September 6.

Through its non-profit efforts, IABF recently spearheaded a series of youth development camps, hosting four clinics in five days across Castiglione della Pescaia, Parma, and Bologna. These clinics brought together top coaches, Major League Baseball alumni, and aspiring players, underscoring IABF’s commitment to expanding the sport’s reach in Europe and inspiring the next generation of Italian ballplayers.

The film was shot, edited, and produced by Chris R. Vaccaro, an executive trustee of IABF and an Emmy Award-winning media executive, who has produced and directed nine documentaries.

“Our mission has always been about more than just the game; it’s about building bridges, creating opportunities, and fostering a love for baseball that transcends borders,” Vaccaro said. “Andiamo captures the energy, passion, and potential we see in Italy.”

The documentary will be distributed on the CIAO USA TV app, available on Apple TV, Apple iOS, Roku TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, Android devices, and online. Through this broad distribution, IABF hopes to inspire Italian Americans and baseball fans worldwide to join its efforts in growing the game globally.

“‘Andiamo’ is more than a documentary; it’s a call to action,” said IABF President Joe Quagliano. “We’re proud to showcase the incredible progress we’re making and to highlight the stories of young players whose dreams are just beginning.”

“We are thrilled to bring Andiamo: A Baseball Journey to our network and work with a storyteller and executive like Chris,” Giuseppe Barone, President, Ciao USA TV. “This documentary beautifully captures the spirit, passion, and heritage of the Italian baseball community. It’s an inspiring story that resonates with our mission to celebrate culture through compelling storytelling, and we’re proud to share it with our audience.”
