Welcome to the American Club of Rome!

ABOUT US

The American Club of Rome represents an internationally focused, non-profit organization that promotes a friendly exchange of American traditions, culture and values.
The ACR was founded as a Men’s Club in 1953 by Henry R. Luce, founder of Time magazine and an industry leader in American Journalism. As husband of Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce, the U.S. Ambassador to Italy from 1953-56, Henry Luce felt there was a need for an organization that provided opportunities for Americans to socialize and network while living abroad.  The ACR has since developed into an open society for Expats and  locals to form a community and share their respective cultures in a broadening atmosphere. 

The American Club of Rome welcomes American, Italian, and international citizens seeking to expand their social and professional networks through cultural, educational and community-based exchange.
