Celebrating, Promoting, and Preserving Italian Culture in Kenosha

The Italian American Society of Kenosha is proud to be a vital and vibrant part of our local community. With deep cultural roots and a strong sense of tradition, we bring people together through authentic Italian food, festive events, and meaningful relationships.

Who We Are

Our Society is made up of three membership groups—The Men’s Society, The Ladies’ Auxiliary, and CIAO (Contemporary Italian American Organization of Kenosha). Each plays a vital role in supporting our mission through events, outreach, and volunteerism.

“At the IA Society, we value personal relationships. If you’re interested in joining, we’d love to have a conversation and get to know you. Let’s connect and share more about what membership involves.”

• Martin Pitts, President
