The Italian American Museum of Los Angeles remembers Joseph Sciorra, a distinguished scholar of Italian American culture, traditions, and folklore.

Joseph was a dear friend of IAMLA and a true gentleman. The Italian American community has lost an important and free intellectual whose scholarship and contributions will continue to influence and inspire generations to come.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and all those who knew and loved him.

We will miss him dearly.
