UNICO National of Greater Tampa Bay

UNICO National of Greater Tampa Bay UNICO National is the Largest Italian American Service Organization in the USA. UNICO was founded on October 10, 1922 in Waterbury, Connecticut.

A group of 15 men, led by Dr. Anthony P. Vastola, came together to create what has become a very special and very proud organization. It was Dr. Vastola's dream to create an Italian American service organization to engage in charitable works, support higher education, and perform patriotic deeds. In World War I, the Italian American community represented only four percent of the entire United Stat

es population. Although 12 percent of all Americans casualties during this conflict were ItalianAmerican, the loyalty of Italian Americans was questioned. The Sacco-Venzetti trial was fueled by prevailing sentiment that Italian Americans remained loyal to their former homeland. Our founders wanted to insure that everyone understood that Italian Americans loved their adopted country and held no allegiance to their native land save traditions and culture. It is in higher education that UNICO National has established itself as a true leader of the Italian American community.
