The Italian American Club of Tallahassee was created in 1991 when Robert Molinari contacted Ariella Monti-Graziadei full of ideas about forming an Italian organization in Tallahassee. Ariella contacted many of her friends, all of whom were enthusiastic and the club was born.

Founding members along with Molinari and Ariella were Nina and Leo Cinelli, Maurizio Bertoldi, and Larry and Vera Amuso.
