Since 1928, Il Cenacolo has been recognized as San Francisco's premiere Italian cultural club. Since its inception, the venerable old organization has held regular Thursday luncheons, during which guest speakers representing all aspects of Italian culture have addressed the all-male membership.
At first they met at Armando Campagnoli's restaurant in the 800 block of Geary Street, and when they outgrew that location, they moved the Fairmont Hotel where assistant manager Alberto Campione provided meeting space for the club in 1932.
