1925 - 2025: 100 Years of Culture & Celebration

In 2025, the Italian American Cultural Club proudly marks an extraordinary milestone—100 years of unwavering dedication to our mission: “Keeping Our Culture Alive.” Founded in 1925, amidst the dreams and challenges of Italian immigrants forging new lives in a foreign land, this club became a beacon of heritage, unity, and tradition. Today, as we stand a century strong, we honor our past and embrace our future with bold celebrations that reflect the vibrant spirit of our ancestors and our modern community. Join us as we commemorate a century of resilience, passion, and the enduring beauty of Italian culture—an enduring legacy that continues to thrive, inspire, and unite us all.

Introducing Steubenville's Italian American Hall of Fame

Since the dawn of civilization, Italians have shaped the course of human history with groundbreaking contributions to science, medicine, art, business, and beyond—innovations that have propelled society forward in ways we can scarcely measure. The Italian American community in Steubenville, Ohio, stands as a proud testament to this legacy. To honor those who have left an indelible mark on our local community with their extraordinary achievements, we are launching the Italian American Hall of Fame. While some may recall a previous Hall of Fame in Steubenville, this new initiative rises from the roots of tradition, reimagined and reignited, to continue celebrating those whose impact resonates deeply and deserves lasting recognition.
