About Casa Italiana Sociocultural Center, Inc.

Casa Italiana is the heart and soul of the Italian and Italian American Community in Washington, DC. From Italian language classes, to cultural events, wine tastings and food festivals, to the newly inaugurated Italian American Museum of Washington, DC (IAMDC), Casa Italiana Sociocultural Center Inc. promotes the Italian culture and preserves Italian American traditions.

Casa Italiana originally opened its doors on March 22, 1981. Scalabrinian Fr. Caesar Donanzan, who was instrumental in establishing the project and leading its funding, envisioned a center for the Italian-American community to provide services and opportunities for socializing and presenting the best of Italian culture in the Nation's Capital. The first significant activity at Casa Italiana was the establishment of the "Scuola Italiana" or Casa Italiana Language School. Holy Rosary finally also had a place to host large social events for the community.

Our mission is to promote and preserve the Italian and Italian American heritage and culture in the Washington DC area.
