Routes to Roots

Storytelling: Gathering & Sharing

The Routes to Roots project began in 2016 as a way to preserve the stories connecting the Vermont Italian Cultural Association to Italy. Through accounts of family, travel, memorable discoveries and accomplishments, Routes to Roots honors our individual and collective Italian heritage.

The stories of our members are treasured. We encourage contributions of stories and memories to enrich our appreciation of the people and places that have shaped our Italian-American experience.
