Briscola Games Underway at Casa Italiana

This fall, the once popular Circolo della Briscola was revived, as beginning and experienced players gathered in Casa Italiana for the re-start of the briscola games. The Circolo was popular for 25 years, and its members even won a tournament held in Italy — no mean feat!
Following an organizational meeting on September 15, 2024, the first game was held on October 2. Several AMHS members attended and those present agreed that it was an evening of fun and camaraderie.
Newcomers are welcomed and there will be experienced players to teach them this popular Italian card game. The next game will be held on Wednesday, December 4, at 7 p.m.
The effort to re-start the Circolo was the joint idea of AMHS President Chris Renneker, Dennis Santoli who helped to run the original Circolo, and Francesco Isgro’, President of the Casa Italiana Sociocultural Center.
So, come and bring your family members and friends! If you are interested in playing, please RSVP to Nancy DeSanti at ndesanti7@gmail.com. (By Nancy DeSanti)
