WelcomeThe Federated Italo-Americans of Southern California is an umbrella organization that unites many clubs and societies supporting the Italian heritage in Southern California. The Federated was organized "to gather the strength of all Italo-American organizations and unify their efforts." Of significant value is the role of Federated in bringing together community leaders to plan celebrations of major events, to exchange and share ideas, to honor outstanding individuals and organizations, and to preserve the Italian heritage.
Two important commemorations highlight the year for all members: Italy's Republic Day in June which promotes mutual appreciation and friendship between the United States and Italy, and Columbus Day in October which points out what Italians and Italo-Americans have contributed to the formation and growth of our great nation.
Federated was founded in 1947 by Louis J. Canepa and served as its first president. Since then many distinguished community leaders have served as the head of this organization
