BENVENUTI
The North Bay Italian Cultural Foundation is the coming together of people of all ancestries who are interested in sharing and enjoying things Italian. NBICF was founded in 1984, as a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation, to celebrate Italian Culture and provide the large Italian community of Sonoma County a focal point for common interests.
In 2000, a building in downtown Santa Rosa was purchased and serves as NBICF’s permanent home, the Italian Cultural Center, providing office space, classrooms, meeting rooms and a research library. For a summary of the NBICF activities, visit the About Us page.
