The American-Italian Federation of the Southeast was founded in 1973
to represent and support Italian-American Organizations of the Southeast at the Local, National, and International Levels.
Honoring Ancestors,
Celebrating Culture, &
Inspiring the Next Generation
Our current projects include erecting a 16′ high Monument to the Sicilian Sugarcane Harvesters of 1870-1924.
Italians and Sicilians have made
significant contributions to America
that can be traced back to the 1600s.
Italian-Americans are still making
significant contributions with many
involved in our member organizations.
