Dreams come true every day but, what does it take for dreams to become reality? Love, patience and a lot of dedication. The Pirandello Institute is the fruit of Vita’s passion, effort and commitment. We offer classes, workshops, and lectures in Italian language and culture to adults and children whose roots are Italian and those who have a love for Italy, Italian literature, cuisine, and music. Our ClassesCelebrating Vita’s Next Chapter 🌟 Our beloved Vita is beginning to ease into a well-deserved retirement — at the young age of 80! 🎉 As she transitions into this new chapter, Vita will be limiting the number of students and classes she takes on moving forward. Her passion for teaching and sharing the Italian language and culture remains as strong as ever, and we’re thrilled that she’ll continue inspiring students — just at a gentler pace. ​ If you’re interested in joining one of Vita’s upcoming classes, please contact us to share your interest.Upcoming EventsItalian Movie Night at Gallery 40Mon, Feb 09Gallery 40Join us Monday, February 9 at 7:00PM to watch the classic "L'ultimo bacio" in Italian (with English subtitles) at Gallery 40, 40 Cannon St, Poughkeepsie, NY.Register NowItalian Card Game Night at Gallery 40 Thu, Feb 12Gallery 40Join us at the gallery with Franco Caruso for a fun night learning and playing one of the most popular card game in Italy: Briscola.Register NowRESCHEDULED — La Passione per La Macchina Mon, Feb 23Gallery 40Pirandello Institute, in collaboration with Gallery 40, presents La Passione per La Machina (Passion for Cars).Register NowJoin UsHelp us in our mission to encourage those who are passionate about Italy, Italian language, literature, cuisine, and music.
