About Us
The Italian Cultural Center was founded in 1977 as a place where people of Italian decent can come together to learn and inform others about their heritage. The Library and Museum rebranded as Casa Italia in 1992 offers a variety of classes, books in both Italian and English, events, and archival collections about people and families in the communities. Our organization is a non profit, created to spread the word about Italian heritage, and the history that has come before us.
