On October 13, 2025, our Lodge hosted a special screening of the film "Made in Italy" (2020) starring Liam Neeson at the Cameo Cinema in St. Helena.
 

It was a SOLD OUT show where people stood in the rain (pioggia) to get in. 





Along with the movie, our guests enjoyed savory Italian dishes including arancini, antipasti skewers, prosciutto palmieri Italiano, sausage and zucchini.



Grazie mille to Suzanne and Mark Roomian, Toni Weems, Lia Cicuto, and Joel Kurtz (among others) for putting in such an outstanding effort on the wonderful food boxes.



Pairing perfectly with the tasty morsels on offer was Nichelini Family Winery's Primitivo and Emmolo Wines Sauvignon Blanc!



The food and wines were a hit!! And for dessert, people savored Roman Holiday’s incredible gelato!





Lodge No. 2077 could not be more grateful to Cathy Buck and the Cameo Cinema for providing us a space where we could all come together for a fun evening!

On Saturday, October 4, 2025, St. Helena Lodge No. 2077 co-hosted* Festa Italiana in St. Helena's Lyman Park.  *The word "co-hosted" is a gross overstatement, because in reality our Lodge member Anthony Micheli (with a little help from his amici) put the entire event together.  Grazie mille Anthony for another job well done!!

Lodge 2077 helped with visitor check-in and shared information about the upcoming "Made in Italy" screening at the Cameo Cinema.



The food crew worked tirelessly to feed 750 people over the day (crowd size is estimated).



But ultimately, this was a great community celebration of Italian heritage bringing people of all backgrounds together for great food, wine, and friendship.

On August 30, 2025, we met our fratelli e sorelle from Napa Lodge No. 2043 for our Second Annual Bocce Tournament at Veteran's Memorial Park in Yountville, California.

 

The competition was fun with St. Helena edging out Napa to retain the title for another year, however, everyone who came was a winner because of the camaraderie and fantastic food and wine everyone brought to share!





As an added bonus, Joel Kurtz made cannolis for the crowd!



You won't want to miss the Third Annual Bocce Tournament next August!

Ray and Marge Centanni hosted us at their beautiful property where Katie Migliavacca (owner) and Vin Traverso (winemaker) at Migliavacca Wine Co. explained the history of their winery and poured their wonderful Sangiovese, Vermentino, and Rose.
