Call before to make sure they are open! Just wasted my time and $ on an Uber. They supposedly close at 3pm and we arrived at 2PM. Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I will not be able to return as im going back to FL tomorrow early morning. I understand that when you are dealing with volunteers, you depend on their available hours; however, encourage your visitors, on your website, to call first.

A real museum of Italian immigration history. They did a very good job collecting memorabilia of all sorts and sizes to represent traditions and amazing stories of Italian Americans. If you are passionate about Italy make sure to allocate enough time to enjoy it all!

Not a big place, but is well thought out and organized. Seems like they update some of the displays on a regular basis. Saw a live Columbus Day presentation in the basement, speaker was well prepared and very passionate. Probably can see it all in 20-30 min, more if you read all of the information displays.

To support and gain clarity on the Tuskegee Airmen/Red Tails experience in Ramitelli, Italy, World War II as narrated by Marco Altobello.

I love teaching Italian language and culture

Very friendly hosts and informative tour! Stop in and you will learn a ton.
