Celebrating Italian Heritage in Omaha Since 1926
Dear Omaha Community,
Welcome to the home of the Order of the Sons and Daughters of Italy in Nebraska.
Since 1926, Cristoforo Columbo Lodge #1419 has served as a place where Italian heritage, community, and fellowship come together. For nearly a century, our lodge has been a gathering space not only for Italian-Americans, but for the entire Omaha community to connect, celebrate, and share in our traditions.
Today, we are proud to continue that legacy as an all-volunteer organization dedicated to preserving Italian culture while opening our doors to all. Whether you are joining us for one of our community pasta dinners, attending a cultural event, or celebrating a special occasion in our hall, you will experience the warmth, hospitality, and sense of family that define who we are.
Like many longstanding institutions, our journey has included both challenges and triumphs. The fire in 2017 tested our resilience, but it also revealed the strength of our members and the generosity of the Omaha community. Because of that support, we were able to rebuild and move forward, stronger and more committed than ever to our mission.
We invite you to visit, get involved, and become part of our story. Whether you have Italian roots or simply an appreciation for the culture, there is always a place for you at our table.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you to the Lodge.
Ciao,
Daniel Matuella
Grand Lodge President, OSDIA – Nebraska

Dear Omaha Community,
Welcome to our new-look website!
Being an all-volunteer operation still emerging from a devastating fire that knocked us out for three years, we at Order of the Sons and Daughters of Italy in Nebraska are grateful for the wonderful response we've received from the community during our dinners and for the generous donations as well to help us navigate the tough financial waters in the current conditions. We are steadfast in remaining a reasonable option for meals, drinks and rentals while we reconcile our mortgage on the remodeled hall.
Thank you kindly and we hope to see you at the Hall for a delicious pasta dinner!
Ciao!
Daniel Matuella
Grand Lodge President, OSDIA - Nebraska
