Sons  of Italy in America. We are part of the oldest, largest and most geographically represented organization of Americans of Italian heritage in this country. The Sgt. John Basilone Lodge was chartered in late 1999, by Founder and  Past President, William A. Colacino. Past State President and Founder David Prisco and Anthony Corso.

The purpose of our organization is to enroll all eligible persons, so that we may successfully promote national education, charitable fundraising, secure adequate laws for the benefit of its members, enrich Italian culture and heritage, and to combat discrimination while protecting and upholding the positive image of the people of Italian birth or descent.
