As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its independence, the Italian community is proud to offer a distinctive perspective to the celebration.

Under the leadership of Consul General Nico Frandi, the Italian Consulate in Philadelphia has organized and sponsored a compelling lecture series highlighting this historic transatlantic dialogue, in collaboration with PI-Philly, the America-Italy Society, and Bryn Mawr College.
