The Italian Cultural Foundation at Casa Belvedere79 Howard AvenueOur Return to Italy
Tuesday, August 8 at 8 pmWondering about moving to Italy? Or learning about winemaking? Join us for OUR RETURN TO ITALY (2023, 25 minutes), a film screening and discussion with filmmakers Marylou and Jerome Bongiorno.
Our Return to Italy is a short fictional film about an Italian American patriarch who wants to uproot his multigenerational family winemaking business to Italy but hides the truth about his motives.
Before the screening, Robert Rispoli from Vino Divino winery in Staten Island will introduce you to the winemaking world. Wine will be sold at this Cinema event to benefit the Italian Cultural Foundation at Casa Belvedere, graciously donated by Vino Divino. Founded in 2003. Vino Divino is the first school of wine to open in Richmond County.
Movie synopsis: Francesco Santangelo’s family is rooted in his New Jersey winery, but he’s decided to uproot the entire family and move operations to where he was born in Lombardy, Italy. His granddaughter Emma knows nothing about the move, although she’ll be thrilled because she’s a budding documentary filmmaker whose life is steeped in famous Italian films.

Virtual Writing Workshop – A Midsummer Night’s Writing Workshop
A Midsummer Night’s Writing Workshop with author Maria Giura
No experience necessary: just a notebook, pen and desire to record the past. Links for these virtual workshops will be sent before each session.
Part I: Generative: Wednesday, July 12, 7 to 9 pm
Part II: Revision: Wednesday, August 9, 7 to 9 pmFee for each workshop is $27, or $30 for non-members. There is a member discount for family members.
Are there memories you want to write or (family) stories you want to record? Or maybe you have a piece of writing you’ve already started, that you’d like to pick up and receive help with/constructive feedback on?
Join us for one or both of these supportive virtual workshops, which will leave you with concrete suggestions to get closer to the truth of your own stories. July 12 is generative – you’ll write new material – and August 9 is revision – you’ll get feedback on something you’ve already written. For the revision workshops, once you’ve registered, you’ll be asked to email in advance a writing piece that is maximum 700 words.
Register for one or both of these virtual workshops.
