Italian clubs, regional associations and diaspora groups exist almost everywhere Italians settled — here's how to find yours.
Clubs built around a single region or even a single town — from Calabrian social clubs in Toronto to Sicilian associations in Melbourne — keeping dialect, food and feast days alive.
Italian-language Mass, feast-day processions and parish festivals remain a backbone of diaspora community life in many cities.
Newer associations focused on language classes, cultural events and reconnecting with heritage a generation or two removed from Italy itself.
