In 1973 I knew someone from work who was Italian, and she mentioned
that her and her friends were having a gathering where eveyone would
bring different types of foods to have a "party." She gave a name to
it which I do not remember. Two years ago I discovered that my father
was Italian which makes me fifty percent Italian, and his family came
from the Abruzzi region of Italy. Somehow I think that the coworker
was from that region of Italy. Does anyone know what the term might be
for a gathering of Italians to have a great time.

Thanks

My grandfather was 100% Sicilian and the common term for a "Gathering
of Italians" in Chicago was usually "dragnet."

LOL! Ah, those wild and crazy Sicilians!

Babelfish says the *Italian* language translations are

gathering = riunione
party = partito
assembly = assemblea
festivity = festività

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

riunione means meeting, although it could be a family riunione

partito means political party!

assemblea is like congress, or the meeting of some farflung official group

festivita is a feeling, not an occasion

We have feste, serate, cene, sagre which are all the plural of various good
things to do where you eat. Italians always eat.

If the term use wss food related it could be "banchetto", otherwise it could
be "festa", "ricevimento", "ritrovo (di famiglia)", "rimpatriata" (if it's a
gathering of old friends), or many other slang terms.
