Here's what's happening:
Italian summer program 2008
  CI is gearing up for an exceptional Italian summer program 2008: Basic to advanced Italian language class options are now available throughout the summer. Eight-week summer classes, which include 7 Italian language sessions and 1 cooking class, begin June 2 through July 28. A series of specialty classes are also being offered–choose from Teatro Italiano, Family Cooking of Northern Italy, and Conversations on Contemporary Italian Cinema See Adult Classes for additional summertime variety.  
Summer Survival Kit for travelers
Spend some quality time with CI in June-July, learning basic conversation skills in Italian before leaving on vacation. Summer Survival Kit addresses a traveler's need for basic conversation skills in Italiano before taking off from JFK: Learn how to introduce yourself and others, ask for directions and information, reserve a hotel room or make a dinner reservation, order in a restaurant or bar, shop, visit museums, etc.
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. 
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.
