  It's back! APERITIVO & CARTE. THE ITALIAN WAY. 

  Join us on Thursday, April 25th, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, for a great evening of fun playing a traditional Italian card game while enjoying an authentic aperitivo Italian style.
  

  Luisa and Ileana will guide you while you play scopone scientifico (NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED). Scopone scientifico is a variant of the popular scopa, a card game (gioco di carte) that every true Italian must master. And this goes along with an Italian aperitivo, perfect to chill on a Thursday evening. 

  The card games scopa and scopone scientifico are a big fundament of the Italian culture. Grandparents teach them to their grandchildren at an early age, and Luisa and Ileana themselves grew up playing this game in Italy with their grandparents!    

  This event is open to all ICC members and non-members. Any level of Italian proficiency - the game and the rules will be explained in English by Luisa & Ileana -.  NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED in the game of Scopone, and if you are a PRO come and show off your skills. It’s a simple yet fun and interesting game played in pairs but if you are a single player, we will pair you with another one. 

  Once you have signed up the rules of the game will be emailed to you.

  Per chiunque abbia voglia di trascorrere una serata divertente e giocare al tradizionale Scopone scientifico, il tutto accompagnato da un aperitivo italiano.
  

  Il torneo è aperto a tutti i soci dell’ICC e ai non soci. Il gioco e le regole saranno spiegate in inglese. Non è richiesta alcuna conoscenza del gioco; se sei un campione, è l’occasione per mostrare la tua bravura. Lo scopone è un gioco a coppie semplice, divertente ed interessante. Se non hai un partner, te ne verrà assegnato uno la sera stessa.

  Don't miss our last Make & Take class before the Summer break!
  

  
  

  

  Learn how to make Erbazzone Reggiano (Spinach & Parmesan cheese pie) and Salame di Cioccolato (Chocolate salami), 2 big hits during our latest event Weekend Italiano. 

  Erbazzone Reggiano is a traditional savory pie from Emilia-Romagna. It is one of those simple but very tasteful gastronomic specialties that never traveled too far outside their region. 

  
  

  Surprise and delight your guests with Salame di Cioccolato, a classic sweet treat in Italian households. This chocolate dessert with crunchy bits inside has a look that resembles a savory salami!

  To learn how to make Erbazzone Reggiano and Salame di Cioccolato, join our instructor, Modena native, Romina Montanari for a hands-on session.

  
  

  The class will be held at Mid-City Kitchen in St. Paul. Romina will demonstrate and guide you through the process of making your very own Erbazzone and Salame! Each participant will sample both preparations and enjoy a glass of wine in a fun atmosphere. Everyone will take home the erbazzone and salame they just made.

  All ingredients are included, but please bring a rolling pin.

  The event is scheduled for Sunday, April 28th, 2:00 – 4:00 PM.  The location is easy to find, conveniently located near the Green line of the light rail. If you choose to drive, free parking is available.
