History of National Valentino Day
The first person to observe Valentino Day is anonymous. The commemoration of the day, however, marks the death of an Italian actor and naturalized American Rudolph Valentino. He was born in Castellaneta, Apulia, the Kingdom of Italy as Rodolfo Pietro Filiberto Raffaello Guglielmi di Valentina d’Antonguella on May 6, 1895. During the 1920s, he was a sex symbol, and early pop icon who was known as the “Latin lover” or just as “Valentino.”
Dare to Be
When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again.
When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
Dare to be the best you can –
At all times, Dare to be!

On August 15, 1926, Rudolph Valentino was hospitalized at the New York Polyclinic Hospital after diagnosing that he was suffering from appendicitis and gastric ulcers, and which required an immediate operation.
