Fra Noi Embrace Your Inner Italian
Lou Scaramuzzo has embarked upon his second term as president of the Chicagoland Italian American Charitable Organization, accepting the gavel from Bob Urbinati.
A member of CIACO since 2003 and a board member since 2005, Scaramuzzo has served as secretary, second vice president and first vice president, in addition to his seven-year stint as president from 2007-14.
“My good friend Tom Reboletti invited me to join the organization,” he explains. “I saw the good they were doing and the opportunity they offered to give back to the community and celebrate my Italian heritage. It was a perfect fit.”
What Lou likes most about CIACO is the common bond of generosity that exists among its members. “We’re all for the same cause of helping others, and no one asks for anything in return,” he says.
Scaramuzzo hopes to continue to push the fundraising envelope, as all CIACO presidents have done before him, while attracting younger members to the cause, thus ensuring a bright future for the organization.
A top performer in the luxury automobile market for three decades, Scaramuzzo is now a commercial and residential real estate broker for Signature Realty Corp.
