The Promotion Center for Little Italy began with an idea in November 2009 and was established by January 2010, celebrating its FIFTH anniversary! With a devoted board of 13 members, this nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization has gained legs and a strong reputation in Baltimore's Italian community as it has promoted Little Italy as a neighborhood, along with its various components: bocce leagues, Italian parish, learning center, lodge, and services/businesses.

Learn more about this organization under 'WHAT WE DO' on its website. Thanks to these board members who have faithfully served, and welcome to the newest board member, Vince Zaccaria.
