We cover a lot of subjects here on the blog, and this time we’re going to tackle a hyperlocal topic: Italian fraternal organizations. Living as I do in North Beach, I’ve long been familiar with our own San Francisco Italian Athletic Club (SFIAC) on Stockton Street.

But speaking with Tony recently, I found out he actually belongs to three separate clubs, all of them right here in the Bay Area: The SFIAC, as well as the Fratellanza Club in Emeryville and the Colombo Club in Oakland.
