About Nutley Unico
Nutley UNICO is an Italian American organization aimed at promoting and preserving our Italian heritage. Our focus is to stimulate interest in the Italian culture among the young and old by creating a better understanding and appreciation of Italian history, language, arts and the many positive contributions of Italian Americans.
We have a dynamic chapter that is committed to promoting our culture, heritage, and our community. Service above self will continue to be our mission.
The UNICO National mission is to promote the image of Italian Americans along with Italian heritage and culture by supporting charitable, scientific, cultural, educational, and literary projects.
The name UNICO was selected as best representing the nature and the character of this fledgling organization. The name is the Italian word for unique, one of a kind. The founders believed that UNICO would be the only one of its kind because it placed service to the community before and above fraternity. At the same time they hoped that the rest of society would come to know and understand the real contributions of Italian Americans to our way of life. Its sole purpose was to unite all Italian Americans and motivate them to become more civic minded. In order to accomplish this, members would have to understand that they would have to make sacrifices, not for personal gain, but for service to others. In the ensuing years UNICO became an acronym that stood for Unity, Neighborliness, Integrity, Charity, and Opportunity.
