A loving look at the role of women in Italian Culture
"Men write history. Women live it." - anonymous Italian culture has some of the strictest gender roles in the Western World, with men as the dominant figures. But for generation after generation, Italian women have been the mainstays of family, community and society. Often unheralded, the role of the woman has been to hold it all together in sometimes overwhelmingly adverse situations. In this special event - featuring our LNFI Piazza (Town hall) format - we finally put the spotlight on the Mommas and Nonnas we all owe so much to. |

Italians and the Okanagan Wine Industry: A Celebration of a Century Long Labour of Love
The intertwined roots of Italian Immigrants and BC’s Wine Industry run deep. Wine has always been an essential part of Italy’s celebration of sensory experiences; a critical ingredient in their culture and tradition. It was only natural that these enterprising immigrants would bring this part of their heritage with them. This evening is a celebration of the highly successful century-long blend of Italian Heritage and the Okanagan’s wine industry. In three narrative presentations, we’ll explain the significance of wine to Italian culture, recount the remarkable story of the role of Italians in nurturing and growing the industry to its present state and take a sensory tour of Italy with a sommelier led food paired tasting of both regional Italian vintages and local wines that were influenced by Italian tradition. Bevanda! Mangiare! Celebrare! |
