EXCLUSIVE AWARDS DINNER: L’ITALIA E IL TEATRO
Exclusive Outdoor Fundraising Event to celebrate Italian Culture and the Recipients of our Scholarship Awards.
This year, instead of the annual Gala at the Italian Embassy, we will host an exclusive dinner outdoors, for a limited number of guests, due to the circumstances.
We will enjoy a fine Italian dinner in a magical atmosphere with climbing grapevines and lights surrounding the “piazza.”
Performance by Laura Caparrotti, with the extraordinary participation of renowned actor Rocco Sisto.
Presentation of the winners of the Italian Cultural Society Scholarship Awards.
(Upon arrival, you will need to present proof of full vaccination. Masks required, when not seated outdoors. Further requirements, such as a negative test, might apply, if recommended by CDC at the time of the event.)
