About Us
The Museo ItaloAmericano is the only museum in the United States devoted exclusively to Italian and Italian-American art and culture. Established in 1978, the Museo ItaloAmericano is a non-profit institution governed by a Board of Directors.
The mission of the Museo ItaloAmericano is twofold: to research, collect, and display works of Italian and Italian-American artists, and to promote educational programs for the appreciation of Italian art and culture, thereby preserving the heritage of Italian-Americans for future generations.
The Museo ItaloAmericano is a non-profit organization currently supported in part by the Grants for the Arts of the San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, by grants from The Bernard Osher Foundation, The Wells Fargo Foundation, Cocuzza Lenchner Fund, Credit Suisse First Boston, Rosaria Haugland Foundation, Anonymous Fund at the East Bay Community Foundation, Chiucchiarellli Family Foundation, and the generosity of Museo members and Board of Directors.
