DANTE EVENT CENTER

In 1926 the Dante Club was founded by Victor Panattoni who had emigrated from the Toscana region of Italy and was an active member of St. Mary's Church. He owned the Capital Press printshop and wrote the first Italian newspaper in the area, La Capitale which was published for over 40 years. He also had been appointed as Italian Consular Agent for northern California. He became the Dante Club's first President. His wife Paolina believed that the Italian women of Sacramento also needed a gathering place, so in 1926 she founded the Dante Club Ladies Auxiliary along with a committee of Italian women. She assisted a family member to become the first President. These ladies enjoyed socializing, sharing recipes, assisting with Italian language classes and raising funds for charitable causes... As a courtesy, we provide an experienced wedding specialist along with our knowledgeable party-planning staff to assist you with all the important event details.
