ITALIAN ASSOCIATION OF ARIZONA

The Italian Association was founded on the premise of promoting Italian Arts & Culture. Our vision is to be able to gather in time the necessary financial resources to create an Italian Cultural Center with services and support for the Italian people the community at large. We hope one day that Arizona will be the home to an area in the valley dedicated to its very own version of Little Italy.We hosted an Italian Festival in Downtown Scottsdale in October of 2024 along with hosting SVDP and other volunteer activities. We continued hosting Italian Language classes both in person and online, building community among the students with breakfast meetings and promoting other local valley cultural events. We are helping to promote our business members, sponsors and others along with the sharing the love of the Italian culture, food, and language through our social media platforms and newsletters. We also host many happy hour events to help promote the restaurant and business while bringing community together.
