Order Sons of Italy in America

"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity"

  The OSIA Little Italy Lodge #2286, in the heart of Baltimore's century-old Italian neighborhood, welcomes you to its home.      We invite you in - to immerse yourself in the old-world charm and rich cultural heritage of a thriving Italian community, to participate, no matter how far away you may be, in the timeless Italian traditions of hospitality and generosity, to find comfort and joy in discovering that, yes, family and good food and laughter can still be found in a too-often fragmented and melancholy world.    

  Explore our home, drop in often and celebrate life and family with us.

Cookies for "The Taste of Italy"

Talented Lodge volunteers met recently on a Saturday morning to make home-made Italian cookies of ALL kinds. The volunteers call themselves "The Cookie Monsters" but they should really be known collectively as "The Cookie Authority". Individually, they're known as Celeste, Grace, Sue, Maureen, Nancy, Christina, Pat, Barbara and Dawn.

Jerry Elliott, the chairman of the event, scans - but dares not sample - the bounty of the volunteers' generosity. To those who will be attending the "Taste of Italy" on April 27th, these decadent delectables proudly present themselves.
