CASA ITALIANA SPRING 2024 CULTURAL PROGRAM
Ongoing Events
Casa Italiana Book Club
Casa Italiana hosts this book club that meets once a month to discuss Italian books. The Club is open to anyone and its purpose is to offer the possibility to practice the Italian language and/or learn about Italy and its culture. The group suggests the books, usually by contemporary Italian authors, that reflect the changes that have taken place with time in the language and customs. The discussion is informal.
Participation is free.
When: First Saturday of each month at 11:30 am
Location: Casa Italiana LeChase Lounge
For more information, or to put your name on the book club mailing list, please email Casa Italiana (casa@naz.edu) or call 585-389-2468.
