The Italian American Museum of Cleveland (Italian: Museo Italo Americano di Cleveland; abbreviated as IAMCLE) is a museum in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio,[3] emphasizing the heritage, history, identity, and traditions of the city's Italian American community.[4] The museum was founded by veteran Cleveland judges Basil M. Russo and Deborah J. Nicastro on Columbus Day 2020,[1] replacing one that had closed in 2007.[2] A soft opening to the public was held in July 2021,[5] with an official grand opening on October 1, 2021.[6] The museum is sponsored by the Italian Sons and Daughters of America (ISDA), and works in partnership with the Western Reserve Historical Society.[7]
