On May 31, the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles (IAMLA) unveiled the newest addition — the iconic Captain America shield — to its permanent exhibition, Italians in Hollywood. The latest piece showcases the achievements of record-smashing directors Joe and Anthony Russo, best known for Avengers: Infinity War, and Captain America: Civil War.
Born a year apart in Cleveland, Ohio, the Russo brothers are lifelong members of the Italian Sons and Daughters of America, and cite the values they learned growing up in their Italian American family as pivotal to their success.
