Professor James J. Boitano, Cenacolista and Past President, has a passion for Italian history and culture. Since 2010 he has been writing about all things Italian that catch his fancy: composers, politicians, artists, designers, race car drivers, film directors, opera stars–to name a few! In this growing collection of essays, he graciously invites us to join him in celebrating the rich beauty of our Italian culture and heritage.

VINO E CIBO (wine and Food)

What gets more to the heart of Italian culture than food and wine? In VINO E CIBO, we explore and revel! Ron Fenolio is our guide, with his culinary blog including informative articles on recipes and wine pairing techniques. He also offers Q&A: have a favorite meal and wonder which wine pairs well? ASK RON!

Our members also chime in with their own family recipes. A fun and surprising collection!
