For the past four years, the Hudson Valley-based Magazzino Italian Art foundation has hosted a series of successful screenings as part of its Cinema in Piazza program. The series – which showcases both classic and contemporary Italian films to an appreciative audience of local art and film lovers – has become a fixture of Hudson Valley summer attractions and has also served as a springboard for the foundation to explore a variety of multimedia presentation formats within its programs.

A key element in the growth of these efforts has been Magazzino’s partnership with their Hudson Valley neighbors WSDG (Walters-Storyk Design Group), a global architectural acoustic consulting and A/V integration firm who have provided their expertise in these areas to enhance the performance quality of these programs.
