PARLIAMO ITALIANO CLUB, VAUDREUIL-SOULANGES
Our mission
Our mission
Our mission
To bring together Italians residing in the municipality of Vaudreuil-Soulanges and all those who love the Italian culture and language, without any prejudice.
We give the opportunity to take pride in one's family origins by practicing the Italian language, encouraging friendship among members and promoting the culture and traditions of Italy, maintaining it for future generations. Furthermore, the cultural diversity from region to region will, through the exchange of information, not only become familiar to those who have never been exposed to it, but promote a better understanding of different traditions and customs and in some cases even of mentalities.
The Club wants to be a social gathering where all of the above can happen.

15 NOVEMBER 2025 - CHRISTMAS MARKET
Our Christmas Market, 2025 edition, was a great success! More than 500 visitors stepped into the magic of the holidays!
Fourteen talented artisans presented their unique creations: perfect gifts to offer at Christmas or to treat yourself. At their arrival, the visitors were wrapped in the warmth and joy of an old-fashioned Christmas, complete with festive music, delicious hot chocolate for the kids, and plenty of seasonal cheer!
Some lucky visitors received a $10 voucher and, when all visitors voted for their favorite display, they had the change of winning a beautiful Christmas basket offered by Salina Alimentari. The artisan of the favorite display won $100!
We were all able to celebrate the Italian Christmas spirit.
See you next year!
2 NOVEMBER 2025 - RED VELVET CHAIR
The Red Velvet Chair started with a delicious pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans) soup and a good glass of wine that we tasted while taking the time to catch up since our last meeting.
The film we chose with Nino Manfredi is a beautiful comedy that tells the story of an Italian immigrant who arrives in Switzerland to be able to work and where he builds a new life, facing all the usual difficulties and problems to adapt.
We wanted to dedicate this film to all the grandparents and fathers who undertook the long journey to this country many years ago, so that they could rebuild a happy life, facing difficulties, a new language, different habits and many difficulties.
We had a good laugh and the chocolate covered popcorn was delicious!
To be repeated!

We used a very special map of Italy, and we had a lot of fun while finding our roots.
