The Italian Association is a 501-(c)-(3) non-profit organization run by a Board of Directors and Advisory Council.  The goal and purpose of the Italian Association is to not only promote Italian Arts, Culture and traditions but to foster an atmosphere that supports local businesses through its members and bring awareness of all things Italian to the local community. The founding member’s vision was to see an Italian cultural center become the epicenter of what could ultimately become Arizona’s own Little Italy. A place where Italian traditions, culture, and the image of Italy, its people, and industries can be shared with the community at large.
