CLEVELAND – The Italian-American Museum of Cleveland (IAMCLE), which will celebrate and chronicle the contributions of Italian-Americans, opens its doors Friday in the heart of Little Italy.

Located at 12111 Mayfield Road, the opening of the museum coincides with the start of Italian-American Heritage Month.

Visitors will be able to explore the opening exhibit, “Faith, Family, Ambition: The Italian Americans of Northeast Ohioâ€. It will explore Italian immigration to Northeast Ohio and highlight the positive contributions of Italian Americans to the region.

Contributions include the construction of the iconic Traffic Guardians, which were sculpted in Little Italy and sculpted, in part, by Italian immigrants.

The museum will offer walking tours of Little Italy and Lakeview Cemetery, where guest speakers will exhibit different parts of the region’s Italian-American history.

Most of the photographs, documents and artefacts that will be on display are on loan from the Italian-American collection of the Cleveland Western Reserve Historical Society.
