Who We Are

ABOUT

We are a national organization of men and women who represent the estimated 17 million Americans of Italian heritage. We are dedicated to promoting our culture, traditions, language, ancestors' legacy, and contributions to the U.S. and the world. We are sons and daughters, grandmothers and grandfathers. We are corporate executives, union members…young students and retirees…teachers and attorneys…doctors and firefighters…bakers and Wall Street brokers…and everything in between. We are philanthropists and model global citizens with a purpose beyond ourselves. And we are proud and patriotic Americans of Italian heritage. We exemplify the very best of what it is to be Italian American.

  • The Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America® (OSDIA) is the largest and oldest national organization for men and women of Italian heritage in the United States.
  • Founded in 1905 as a mutual aid society for the early Italian immigrants, today OSDIA has thousands of family members located in all fifty states and the District of Columbia, making it the leading service and advocacy organization for the nation’s estimated 26 million people of Italian descent.
  • Its missions include encouraging the study of Italian language and culture in American schools and universities; preserving Italian American traditions, culture, history and heritage; and promoting closer cultural relations between the United States and Italy.
