Italy International Center
Promoting International Understanding and Collaboration Through the Arts
Italy International Center is a cultural organization celebrating Italian culture and art. With our curated exhibitions, we want to find commonalities in our visions, celebrate the richness of our diverse imaginations and invite all participants to collaborate in making the world a more connected and friendly place.
Celebration of Italian Heritage
Storie d'Italia
Stories of Italy · An open call
Every Italian family that left Italy carried something. A recipe. A photograph. A saint's medal. A way of making bread. We are collecting those stories — and bringing them to Italy.
