For the fourth consecutive year, Toronto’s premier heritage attraction, Casa Loma will be transformed into “Castello Italia” on Sunday, June 3, 2018 to mark Italian National Day [Festa della Repubblica] and celebrate Italian Heritage Month in Canada. “It has been my privilege to take part in the organization of the Italian National Day at Castello Italia and I want to thank all of those who supported this project and helped to make it a success”, said Giuseppe Pastorelli, Consul General of Italy in Toronto. “Thanks to a joined effort, we have created the biggest Festa della Repubblica outside of Italy, attended every year by more than 4,000 people.”
Highlights for 2018 Italian National Day at Castello Italia include the Canadian debut of an artistic photo exhibit by Alfredo Cannatello: “Assisi, The Medieval City” (The poetic transcendence of its patrimony), an impressive line-up of local and international artists and cultural programs, including The Divine Comedy for Children. The event will also feature a wine tasting experience from Italy’s prominent regions like Tuscany and Veneto and culinary feast by Toronto’s finest Italian restaurants (Buca, Sotto Sotto, Terroni/Sud Forno, TOCA and Cibo Wine Bar).
The event will be live to Air Radio and Television Broadcast on CHIN Radio/TV.
