CELEBRATING ITALIAN HERITAGE FOR

Since its founding in 1922, the Club has been unique among Italian organizations in St. Louis in its mission. Back in 1922, the Club’s focus was to bring Italian-Americans together for support. Eventually, the Club’s purpose evolved to promoting knowledge and interest in Italian language, culture, and history. The Club awards annual scholarships to students studying the Italian language. In addition, the Club recognizes and honors individuals who have distinguished themselves through their service to the Italian-American community of the Saint Louis area. Our anniversary motto of “SEMPRE AVANTI” meaning “always forward” points us to the next 100 years in which we will expand our membership, award larger scholarships, and increase special event programming, including a member-led trip to Italy.
