Professor Gaetano Cipolla presented his new book, Learn Sicilian II, just published by Legas, at the Columbus Citizens Foundation in Manhattan on November 30, 2021. The event, which was open to the members of the Foundation and to the public, was attended by Arba Sicula members from the tri-state area and by lovers of Sicilian culture. One person came down from Rochester, New York, to hear the presentation.

The lecture room in the elegant townhouse on East 69^th Street, just off Fifth Ave, was filled to capacity, even though there was a charge of $35.00 to attend the presentation. But in exchange, everyone was treated to a cocktail party with delicious hors d’oeuvres, drinks and conversation, and a copy of the impressive book that Professor Cipolla autographed after the lecture.
