BENVENUTI!

In the latter part of the 1920’s several Italian American clubs in the East Bay were in existence, and although progressing, many of the leaders of each club felt that an association should be formed so that more recognition of our Italian American background could be brought forth to those unaware of our existence.

In the year of 1930, ground work for this wonderful idea was established, the IAF was a reality, and Frank Gatto was installed as its first president and was to serve in that capacity until 1940.

WHAT WE DO

The IAF works to further the welfare of all persons of Italian-American Descent living in the easy bay and surrounding areas.

We also support the interest of Italian American clubs in and around the east bay as well as promoting Italian culture both near and far.
