Located in the area known alternatively as Little Italy, Chinatown or Sonoratown, Casa Italiana is the community cultural center. Built in 1971, Casa Italiana neighbors other landmarks of the Italian community in Los Angeles, including Saint Peter’s Catholic Church. It is also home to a 1970s Alberto Biasi sculpture depicting the perils of immigration to America. It overlooks the Los Angeles State Historic Park at the Cornfield.
