Italian Sons and Daughters of America is pleased to announce that a new ISDA lodge has been established in Pensacola, Fla! The newest chapter, founded in September 2022, is called Primo Paradiso Lodge.

Its members primarily reside in the cities of Pensacola and Gulf Breeze, and some travel from as far away as Lillian, Ala. Pensacola is known as America’s First Settlement, or as lodge members like to say, “First Paradise.” In selecting this name, the lodge honors the legacy and sacrifice made by our ancestors and all immigrants who journeyed across the ocean in search of a better life. The lodge’s President is Dina Linn and the Vice President is Kathy Andrade.
