The Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans (JCCIA) has been the leading organization representing over sixty Italian American groups in the Chicagoland area since 1952. With a focus on preserving Italian culture, fostering government relations, and unifying the Italian American community, the JCCIA serves as the Congress for these organizations. Through various initiatives such as the Italian American Dream Series Project, Italian Restaurant Week, and the Italian Language Program, the JCCIA actively promotes and celebrates Italian heritage. Additionally, the organization hosts events like the Columbus Day Parade, the Italian Heritage Ball and Cotillion, and the Dante DiFrisco Awards, further strengthening the bonds within the Italian American community.Generated from the website
