    Hands & Heritage: Italian Crochet Class
    Monday, June 1 - July 6
    6:00 to 7:30 pm
    $150 members, $175 non-members
    Discover the charm of l’uncinetto—the timeless Italian art of crochet—in this hands-on 6-week cultural crafting experience. Rooted in centuries of domestic artistry, crochet in Italy has long been a vital form of creative expression, particularly for those who used thread and skill to create beauty, provide for their families, and pass knowledge from one generation to the next. In this workshop, participants will learn the essential stitches that form the foundation of Italian crochet while creating classic quadratini della nonna (granny squares), a beloved motif traditionally shared among mothers, grandmothers, and neighbors.
    Inspired by Trivento, the small village in Molise celebrated as the “world’s capital of crochet,” this program honors the enduring importance of handmade traditions in an increasingly fast-paced world. By slowing down and stitching with intention, participants are invited to connect with Italian language, heritage, and community—helping to preserve a living craft that embodies patience, memory, and care, one little hook (uncinetto) at a time.

  • 05/12 • In Scena!: TRAVIATA

    Price range: $0.00 through $10.00
    In Scena!: TRAVIATA – A FREE PROSE OPERA (TRAVIATA – OPERA LIBERA IN PROSA) w/ Kairo International Theater
    Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
    FREE for members/$10 nonmembers
     
    Three actors, with no sets or opera singers, choose to tell the story of “La Traviata” by relying solely on the evocative power of theatre. Through Bottega di Cyrano’s original method, “A Free Opera in Prose®,” Verdi’s music becomes a dramaturgical soundtrack, famous arias are reborn through spoken performance, and the story of Violetta and Alfredo becomes universal. Irony and pathos, lightness and tragedy intertwine in a performance capable of moving audiences anywhere: theatres, squares, courtyards, and villages. A form of popular art that restores opera to its vital, contemporary power.
    Written, directed and performed by Andrea Caldi, Fabio Fassio and Elena Romano
    Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave
    Based on La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas fils
    Produced by Bottega di Cyrano – Teatro degli Acerbi
