After partnering with The Magic House for the Ciao Bambini exhibit, the Italian Community of St Louis will partner with the Missouri History Museum for an Italian Family Fun Day as part of their Summer Family Fun Series. The event takes place Wednesday, June 12, 2024 from 10am-1pm.
The resounding success of Ciao Bambini, which opened September 2023, was of major importance to the growth of the Italian Community of St Louis, an organization which represents not only Italian expats but also Americans of Italian descent and simply anyone who appreciates the Italian language and culture. The event at the Missouri History Museum is geared towards children from 2 - 12 years old along with their families. It is free and open to the public. Activities range from Italian Storytime with teachers Giovanna Leopardi and Cettina Gabriele of the St Louis Italian Language Program, to touch table with items invented by Italians and Italian-Americans, an arts and crafts table, opportunities for children to make pasta and pizza, as well as a St Louis - Bologna table headed by Elizabeth Bernhardt, and much much more. The event has Italian moms and dads from the St Louis area volunteering to help organize the event. The volunteer committee is comprised of the following individuals: Federica Bertolini Francesca Fontana, Ph.D. Carlo Sanfilippo Giovanna Leopardi Concetta Lo Iacono Gabriele Paolo Gabriele Elizabeth Bernhardt, Ph.D. Maria Clea Annecchiarico Michael Cross Adriana Hermida For more information on the event or to assist in volunteering, please send an inquiry to Michael Cross: stlouisitalians@gmail.com
