FREE ITALIAN CLASS!
New IACE Italian Language Center-Manhattan

IACE has appointed an experienced and dynamic Italian Teacher and published author, Sandro Sechi, to coordinate and teach Italian classes for Adults in IACE’s new center, Italian Forever. Courses offered will range from Beginner to Advanced and include conversation classes as well.
Mr. Sandro Sechi was born in Sassari, Sardinia. He received his degree in Russian Literature from Milan University. Sandro moved to New York City and took a position with Rizzoli publications. His experience working as an assistant to Oriana Fallaci, inspired him to publish his first book entitled “Gli Occhi di Oriana” (Oriana’s eyes) in November 2006. It was in New York that Sandro jumpstarted his teaching career and discovered his love for teaching the Italian language.

FREE ITALIAN CLASS at the Open House to be held on January 6th 2010 at IACE.

“Tutti all’opera” con programma "Prima della Prima"

Schools in the tri-state area are invited to attend these affordable and informational opera performances that will help to engage the students in the opera and expand their knowledge of the Italian language and culture. Following each performance, students participate in a lively Q&A session with the actors and a backstage tour! Tickets are only $20 a seat for students and their parents! For reservations please call Rosa at 212-772-8755 EXT 301.

Prima della Prima is an exciting cultural project sponsored by the Italian American Committee on Education (IACE) that immerses students into the art, culture, and language of Italy. To keep up with tradition, IACE has created a pre-orchestrated “premier” for all schools that are participating in Tutti all’Opera by inviting an opera expert to visit each school and teach a lesson in Italian. Prima della Prima requires groups of 20 or more to participate. Reservations can be made only after IACE has received payment in full for Tutti all’Opera.

IACE celebrates Italian Heritage and Culture Month

IACE’s Summer Program 2009 winners shared their exciting stories and what they learned from their trip to Sardinia this past August. Both chaperones Professor Alfred Valentini and Alphonsina Paternostro attended the event at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York. Professor Valentini transported the audience to Sardinia with his film that documented the whole experience. The students expressed, in Italian, not only the memories they made and what they learned, but their new found fascination with Italy, it’s language, and in particular, the beauty of Sardinia.
