In a colorful and joyous evening sponsored by the Italian Language Department on June 7, Italian Night at West Orange High School celebrated not only Italian UNESCO sites, but the retirement of beloved Italian teacher Vincenza Amabile. “This year's Italian Night showcased Italy's rich cultural heritage by featuring its UNESCO World Heritage sites,” began Italian Honor Society and Club Advisor and Italian teacher Rosanna Zamloot.

“Italy, the country with the largest number of UNESCO sites in the world, provided an inspiring backdrop for the evening. The event highlighted seven of Italy's 59 UNESCO-designated sites, brought to life by the dedicated students of the Italian programs from various schools,” she explained.
