National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame

In 1978, the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame (NIASHF) was founded as a non-profit, educational institution.  There are now over 200 inductees enshrined in the Hall of Fame and in its 27 years, the collection of sports memorabilia the Hall has amassed is second to none.  Some of the NIASHF's most priceless artifacts include Mario Andretti's Indy 500 racecar, Rocky Marciano's first heavyweight championship belt, Vince Lombardi's last coat worn as coach of the Green Bay Packers, and swimmer Matt Biondi's Olympic Gold Medals.
