Watch "A Casa" Interviews & Cooking Demos

During the pandemic, when in-person gatherings were restricted, SPSCA introduced a monthly web series, "A Casa," to keep our members connected with one another and with our Perugian friends and community, along with other Italian friends.

Each month, we interviewed our friends in Perugia or other connections to Italy via Zoom to see how they were getting along during the global pandemic and what unexpected silver linings they have found.
