Ethnic Texans

This article gives a glimpse of how Italians settled in Texas and what contributions they gave to the state.

While celebrating over food has always been a highlight of the Italian Club's activities, appreciation of Italian culture is an important component of the Club's mission. From the early years when the Dallas Museum of Art hosted ICD Member Nights for "The Pompeiians and The Sassanians ~ the Last Dynasty of Persia" to present day lectures and tours, the Club entertains and educates both its Members and the general public on Italian music, history, and culture. Meanwhile, the Book Club explores a broad range of literary styles, from classical to contemporary, fiction to biography; but all with a focus on the Italian experience.

The Italian Cultural & Community Center (ICCC) actively serves:

Italians who have relocated to Houston

Americans of Italian descent

Italophiles, those who are interested in Italy and its culture
