About Grandsons of Italy in America

The Grandsons of Italy in America is an Italian club for Italian men in Los Angeles, California.



The Grandsons of Italy in America (G.O.I.I.A.), a nonprofit organization, had its infancy in September 1989, when Tony Vallo founded an Italian-American men's group. Led by Vallo, the group, which included Mike Policare, Lou DeMarco, Gino Dente, and Jimmy Ceasar, started to meet twice a month to reflect on their Italian- American upbringing and have a good time.



By October 1992, after the group grew to more than 50 members, it was voted to organize into a social club to prevent the loss of the Italian culture as Italian-Americans were being assimilated into the American culture. An executive board (President, Vice president, Secretary, Treasurer and Member-at-Large) was elected, by-laws were adopted, and a vote to incorporate approved.



We are located in Los Angeles, California and have our meetings in North Hollywood in the San Fernando Valley.
