On September 21, 1933 The Italian Center of Stamford, Inc. was chartered by the State of Connecticut. From its origin as the Italian Social Institute, founded in 1909, to its present day location on Newfield Avenue, the Italian Center has always been an integral part of the Stamford community. As a member of the Italian Center of Stamford you have at your disposal a vast array of recreational and fitness activities. You can swim year-round in the indoor pool, work out in the fitness center or play basketball in the full size gymnasium. During the summer months enjoy one of our three outdoor pools, play a round of miniature golf, play tennis on one of two different types of court surfaces or just stop by the snack bar for an early evening dinner with the kids.
