Chairman of the Board
“The Italian American Civic Club of Maryland was founded during the Second World War, to show our friends and neighbors that Italian Americans can both cherish their heritage and be good Americans. Since then, we have celebrated and promoted Italian American culture, language, music, food, education, and fraternity and defended Italian American civic interests in greater Baltimore community.”
