(July 28, 2017) The best of Italy and the Italian community in Philadelphia. A month of events and celebration. “ I am proud to announce that the Consulate General of Italy—in partnership with area civic, academic, cultural and business leaders—is launching the third edition of Ciao Philadelphia in October 2016 after the success of its inaugural year in 2014”, says Andrea Canepari, Consul General of Italy in Philadelphia. The Consulate officially announced in the past few days the 2017 program of "Ciao Philadelphia": the program of events devoted to Italian culture that will be held from October 1 to November 17. A month of celebrations where the protagonists will be music, art and more. There are a number of events scheduled: launch a guided tour at the Penn Museum Museum in Rome. Among the most anticipated appointments is an exhibition dedicated to Ferrari and a photographic exhibition by Stefano Carloni and Blaise Tobia. Not to mention Carlo Aonzo's mandolin concert. It should be emphasized that Philadelphia boasts one of the largest and most accomplished Italian-American communities in the United States: it is a city that is deeply tied to Italian values and Italian way of life. The event was born in 2014 and is increasingly appreciated: “Ciao Philadelphia truly has something to offer everyone”, said Canepari. The month of appointments involves the most important cultural institutions of the territory and various components of the Italian American community. (red)
