Mission
Italians are actually considered a minority in CUNY, which probably will come as a surprise to most people. There are many clubs that encourage learning about, and enjoyment of cultures, from many places around the world. Unfortunately, there is no club to celebrate the culture of Italy, which is one of the most historical and beautiful places in the world. Italy is famous for its phenomenal food, art, music, and even having the Pope in the Vatican, a tiny country located in Italy. Hopefully with the formation of this club, we can educate people about the culture of Italy, its past, its current circumstances, how Italians have brought their culture to America, and the ways it has changed. We would love to be able to also talk about the success of famous Italian comedians such as Sebastian Maniscalco and Vic Dibetetto, who have made their careers off Italian lifestyles. Also, we can look into showing the movies surrounding Italian culture, and the famous Italians actors in them. We will also hopefully talk about how Italians have made an impact in all aspects of America. Furthermore, we will try to create a great network for all interested in learning in Italian culture and better informing students about the benefits of learning the Italian language.

Membership Benefits
