National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame is a nonprofit institution honoring exceptional U.S. athletes of Italian descent. Since its founding in 1977, more than two hundred Italian-Americans have been inducted into this Hall of Fame.
A 44,000 square foot (4,000 m²) building for the Hall of Fame and museum is being constructed on land donated by the City of Chicago on Taylor Street in the heart of Chicago's "Little Italy".
