Over the past 15 years the the Americans of Italian Heritage Council, which runs the annual Columbus Cup Golf and Bocce Feast at Bellewood Country Club near Pottstown, has focused on foods with “Old World” flair. A major part of their mission statement focuses on preserving Italian heritage.

To Italians, that means food. Yes, there is plenty of Italian music – broadcast proudly all day over the rolling hills of Bellewood. And there is plenty of fine Italian wine. Plus a lively bocce tournament. But guests at the annual sellout event always go away talking about the food.
