SUPPORT THE FILM, “MARCELLA”

Join us in helping Peter Miller finish his documentary film, “Marcella”.  It is so close to the heart and mission of Gruppo Italiano. 

Italian cuisine has many heroes, but those groundbreaking personalities whose very life changes the perception and course of Italian cooking in the United States are rare. Marcella Hazan is one of those gifted few whose story needs to be told.
