    Spanning two centuries, this compelling novel intertwines the lives of Lafanu Brown—a trailblazing Black woman artist living in Rome in 1887—and a contemporary Italian art curator of Somali descent struggling to protect her young cousin from the dangers of migration. Through art, memory, and resilience, Igiaba Scego explores identity, belonging, and what it means to be “other,” offering a powerful reflection on womanhood, migration, and the enduring strength of Black women across time.
    Translated from Italian, this powerful novel invites reflection and a deeper understanding of Italy as a destination for the hopeful. This novel can be found at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the New York Public Library.

     $0 Members/ $10 Non-Members

    Born 153 years ago, Caruso continues to be recognized as one of the world’s greatest singers ever. His recordings are over 100 years old, yet people still listen to them, even as he recorded them at the very dawn of the industry! Aldo Mancusi kept the legacy of Caruso “alive” at the Enrico Caruso Museum in his Brooklyn home for over 40 years.

    Now, many of the premier pictures, artifacts and personal belongings of Caruso are on permanent display in the new Caruso Gallery on the third floor of Casa Belvedere. Join us for a short lecture and video presentation of these two great men, followed by a tour of the Gallery.
