Tuesday, May 2nd at 7:00 PM - Casa Belvedere, 79 Howard Avenue, Staten Island, New York 10301

The Le Marche region is a treasure still unknown to most foreigners. The New York Times and The Guardian enthusiastically described it as "the new Tuscany," but it has its own strong geographical and cultural identity. The region boasts a highly diversified landscape, with blue mountains, sandy beaches, and ancient hilltop villages. It also offers the highest density of museums and art galleries in Italy. Its industrious people did not turn the territory into an "amusement park" for tourists; that is why in Le Marche visitors can still find the heart of Italian beauty.

In this evening's program, Dr. Mauro Peroni, Ph.D. will illustrate what makes this region and its people so unique, which includes a screening of a 40-minute documentary on Le Marche's extraordinary historical and artistic heritage, as well as a tasting of various regional spirits by Distilleria Varnelli.

Informational Brochures will be distributed. The event is sponsored by the Regional Department of Tourism and Culture.

Tuesday, May 2nd at 7:00 PM.
