MEET 'THE FIGHTING ITALIANS'

 

Because of  our Love of Country and Patriotism, 'The Fighting Italian' name and logo are a tribute to the vintage Italian - American fighting spirit, best represented by the legendary men of the 'Greatest Generation', and of Italian heritage, who not only fought valiantly inside the ring, but also outside it when they served our country proudly during WWII, by enlisting in the U.S. Military.  Li Salutiamo!
