Who We Are    chi siamo
The Vermont Italian Cultural Association (VICA), founded in 1983, is dedicated to preserving and sharing Italian culture and heritage.  The organization is open to anyone interested in Italian culture. We sponsor a broad range of activities including travel talks and presentations, language groups, art and sculpture exhibits, Italian movies, coffees, luncheons, and bocce socials.  We sponsor a Scholarship and Grants program to provide modest financial awards to individuals interested in pursuing further study in Italian culture.   ​
