CONTESSA ENTELLINA SOCIETY
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
Founded in 1896
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luca_MatrangaHISTORY
After immigrating to New Orleans, the Contessioti flourished and they became a successful, but still a smaller part of the growing City of New Orleans, they became acutely nostalgic for their village of Contessa Entellina and nostalgic about their ancient language, traditions and heritage. Therefore, to reunite friends and family in this Crescent City where they now lived, on the morning of September 8, 1886, several Arbreshe New Orleanians joined together and formed the Contessa Entellina Society. In the early years, the Society provided dental and medical services and initial orientation to its members and new immigrants
