Adding to the zestful nature of Hertel Avenue, the Centro Culturale Italiano di Buffalo recently held a ribbon cutting for the new Russell J. Salvatore Courtyard. The focal point of the new courtyard is a magnificent fountain that was imported from Sicily.

Earlier today, I stopped over to the Cultural Center to take a look at the new courtyard, which transforms the northeast corner of the intersection into a peaceful and inviting setting, where guests can grab a Pellegrino or an espresso coffee from Café Curcio, while enjoying the manicured landscape.
