Come celebrate the official inauguration of the Italian Cultural Institute in its new home! On Tuesday, September 22, the Italian Cultural Institute will open its doors to the public in its new space at 150 N Michigan Ave, Suite 1580, Chicago, IL 60601.

Join us to discover our new spaces, learn more about our initiatives, cultural events, and language classes, and enjoy an evening featuring music, art and more:

• Hear live the music by the wildly popular Italian singer/songwriter duo Colapesce Dimartino, performing a selection of their most acclaimed songs including their Sanremo hits, in an exclusive U.S. reunion for this special occasion;
• Experience the sensation of standing beneath the fronds of an imaginative palm grove in A Palm of Victory, Chicago’s first exhibition of work by acclaimed Italian artist Emilia Faro;
• Discover ItalCultura’s Italian language classes and Italian Book and Film Club.

Doors open at 5:30 PM, and the evening’s program begins at 6 PM with welcome remarks, an introduction to Emilia Faro’s exhibition by curator Maria Chiara Di Trapani, and the live performance by Colapesce Dimartino.

Food & drinks and giveaways available (while supplies last).

Looking forward to seeing you all there. Vi aspettiamo!
