About Verona Unico

Unico National is the largest Italian American Service Organization in the United States. The Verona Chapter of Unico was established in 1970 and over the years more than $500,000 was donated to national and local organizations in order to provide a better quality of life for those less fortunate. The Verona Chapter has granted hundreds of scholarships to local high school students. Verona Unico is one of the sponsors of the summer concert series held in our civic center and Fair in the Square held in December. The Verona Unico Labor Day 5K race and the Sunday 'Gravy' Dinner are 2 major fundraisers that support local volunteer and non-profit organizations and scholarships.

A Chapter of UNICO National, the largest Italian American service organization in the U.S.

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.

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.

UNICO’s motto is “Service Above Self”. UNICO means “unique” or “only one of its kind” in Italian and additionally, the letters represent: U-Unity, N-Neighborliness, I-Integrity, C-Charity and O-Opportunity.
