Italian Gourmet Food Club
  The Italian Gourmet Food Club is a dining, drinking, and cultural experience - that goes beyond eating. New York offers great restaurants but rarely do diners glimpse into the best kitchens to learn the history of great Italian food.
Participants in the Club share the pleasure in learning about the history of artisanal Italian food and its preparation while eating traditional and contemporary Italian dishes made with the freshest ingredients.
Participants make friends and network in a unique Italian culinary setting offered only at CI.
Visit CI's special events page on the Web for more information.
Caffé Letterario
Collina Italiana is proud to present its own Caffe' Letterario, run by the
women at CI, particularly actor, journalist, and Italian language instructor
Laura Caparrotti. In celebration of Italian culture, especially writers and their
novels, and essays, as well as to improve CI students' Italian language skills and
expand on their knowledge of Italy, Laura leads participants on a unique
journey to discover what remains unknown to most and is new in Italy–all of
this and more in a cozy salon atmosphere. Visit CI's special events page on the Web for more information.
The Cine-Club: 79 Years of Italian Film (1930-2009) allows participants to discover cinematic gems and contemplate diverse themes in Italian life. screenings include discussions on history of film and present-day Italian cinema, the protagonists, and themes that the films explore over time: from love and politics to family and immigration–revealing the Italian way of life for more than half a century. All films are in Italian and subtitled. The series is team-taught by actor, teaching artist, and Italian language instructor Laura Caparrotti and filmmaker and Italian language instructor Riccardo Costa.

At Collina Italiana (CI), we offer Italian language and culture programs both on- and off-site. Lovers of Italian language and culture are finding that CI classes offer a unique opportunity for a comprehensive learning experience without leaving the city.
Located in a handsome townhouse on 96th Street between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue, our language and cultural center is known for offering Italian classes in a salon setting, including workshops in both Italian gastronomy and wine. Also depending on the time of your class, you'll be served either cappuccino or sparkling Prosecco while learning the bella lingua and the bella vita of Italy.
We offer group and private lessons, tutoring services, children's programming, and specialty classes such as Let's Dance: a class in rhythm training and Italian language for children. And for adults our Survival Kit, an intensive language and culture program, prepares you in Italiano for both business and pleasure. Registration for group and individual classes is ongoing.
Collina Italiana director, Patrizia Saglio, welcomes you to an authentic Italian setting in which you'll learn the Italian spoken today and discover the contemporary culture of Italy through the culinary arts, wine, film, lectures, conversation, outings, and more.
