About Italian Cultural Society of Sacramento

The Italian Cultural Society had a dream of connecting our community with our Italian heritage and culture by building a center that would offer this opportunity to learn, gather and unify. After several years, the dream was realized with the completion of the Italian Center in Carmichael.

The Italian Center in Carmichael is the epicenter of maintaining our heritage, culture and pride. The Italian Cultural Society's mission is to serve the cultural needs of our community by providing some of the best and most unique cultural programs and activities in our region. Through cultural programs and events, the Italian Center provides opportunity to learn about and share our Italian heritage and history, strengthen our unity and identity, and enable new generations to enjoy and participate through cultural and educational activities. As a regional center we offer outstanding language, dance, and cultural programs which carry on our traditions for young families with children and adults.

Some of us have been fortunate to be raised in families close to their heritage where they are able to visit with family members, enjoy large family dinners, listen to stories of their grandparents, celebrate family traditions, speak Italian in the household, look through scrapbooks that hold photographs of family faces through out the generations and have traveled to Italy to meet living relatives. But we are not all that fortunate. For some of us, our direct links to our Italian heritage have weakened over time or have gotten lost for a variety of reasons, yet we desire to more fully connect with our Italian Heritage.

The Italian Cultural Society's mission is to serve the cultural needs of our community by providing some of the best and most unique cultural programs and activities in our region. The Italian Center in Carmichael is the heart of these activities and programs which can not be found elsewhere.

The Italian Cultural Society is a nonprofit 501-C(3) organization which serves the community and works to promote and preserve the study of Italian language and culture.
