  In 2008 CI became known for its famed Italian Cooking Workshops, including pasta (homemade tagliatelle all'uovo and meat/vegetarian cannelloni) and pizza ( Margherita, Romana, Napoletana, etc.) and the preparation of holiday dishes such as Lasagne al ragú, Ravioli ai formaggi in brodo, and Bolliti misti (meat stew). The two-hour evening workshops, which have been deliciously successful, are being expanded into the summer months. Visit the special events page for all summer cooking updates.   Tavola Rotonda
  CI is pleased to announce the success of the Tavola Rotonda series, which was kicked off in Spring 2008 with a lecture on the Architecture of Renaissance and Baroque Rome by author William La Riche. The great works of Bramante, Michelangelo, Bernini, and Borromini were among the highlights of the evening, as was an illustrated presentation on the planning of Baroque Rome. Other lectures in the Tavola Rotanda series include the subjects of Italian painting and sculpture. Visit CI's special events page on the Web for all Tavola Rotanda updates.
