Italian Streets

Discover Italy in Vermont

Tucked among the hillsides and small towns of Vermont you'll find
the food, traditions, wine, and language of Italy.

The Vermont Italian Cultural Association is dedicated to preserving and promoting Italian culture in Vermont.
We welcome anyone interested in Italian culture, arts, language, history and other aspects of Italian civilization. You don't need to be Italian to appreciate Italian culture.
