About Us
Italian Community Association
Today our Italian Community in Peterborough can boast that within the community the whole spectrum of success can be found, from the Italian working on the shop floor to millionaire entrepreneurs. This has only been possible because of the hard work, dedication, love of family and help that each generation has given the next.
