| While our journeys to Rome may be different, AWAR members share a common commitment to this beautiful community and the people who live here. Founded in 1955 at the suggestion of then U.S. Ambassador to Italy, Clare Boothe Luce, The American Women’s Association of Rome (AWAR) is a non-political, non-sectarian and not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to promote friendship among our members and understanding between Italy and the United States through cultural, educational, and social events, and community service. Participating in AWAR offers unique opportunities for personal enrichment and connection to the community.

AWAR’s Roman Kitchen has over 130 recipes contributed by more than 40 AWAR members, with 16 pages of color photographs and other art, all by members. But it’s not just a cookbook. The recipes are punctuated with anecdotes, memories, and additional information to round out the portrait of an international membership keeping faith with their own traditions while coming to joyful terms with life in Rome.
