Teaching What it Means to be Italian Being Italian is love,
Being Italian is great,
Being Italian makes you honor your elders,
Being Italian is love for mankind,
Being Italian is to honor every ethnic group.
Christopher Columbus Italian Society Italian immigrants began arriving in San Antonio in the 1870s. By 1890, a number of families had established an Italian neighborhood northwest of downtown. In April of that year, a small group gathered together in a fruit store at the corner of Commerce Street and Plaza De Armas to organize a benevolent association. They obtained a charter for the Christopher Columbus Italian Society on May 14, 1890.
Italian Language Classes The Christopher Columbus Italian Cultural Center is sponsoring classes in Italian language and Culture. Classes are held on Wednesday and Thursday nights September thru May at the Christopher Columbus Banquet Hall.
