The Italian American Museum cordially invites you to attend "The Alchemy of Italy" Presented by Carla Gambescia. Thursday, February 22nd, 6:30 PM. 155 Mulberry Street (Corner of Grand and Mulberry Streets) New York, NY 10013

What is it about Italy? Cultural Superpower yet merely a mountainous Mediterranean peninsula, Italy has exerted an outsized force on the world, Western civilization and the popular imagination over the course of centuries. An entertaining slideshow and presentation for anyone curious about (or already in amore with) Italy and its remarkably rich cultural gifts.

Carla Gambescia, author of La Dolce Vita University: An Unconventional Guide to Italian Culture from A-Z --a unique lifestyle compendium of all things Italian: food, wine, history, architecture, art, style, anecdotes, attitude -- will be our guide as we explore the special alchemy of Italy and the cultural DNA that has made it not only so influential, but also so beloved.

Even the most sophisticated Italophile will discover fascinating new facts and insights. Everyone needs to travel to Italy … with or without a plane ticket. Join us!
