Description

The American-Italian museum is located in a most fitting spot, adjacent to the Piazza d'Italia. The architecture evokes ancient Rome, while the museum exhibits customs and artifacts about the Italians and their contributions to the culture of the Crescent City. A research library includes records of the large local Italian immigrant community. The Piazza affords the surrounding American-Italian community a place to celebrate their heritage. There are a number of unique shops and restaurants in the area you may want to check out. Please use caution in this neighborhood. Some of the streets around the Piazza may be deserted at certain times and could be unsafe.
