"La Settimana Italiana"  - Italian Week in Montreal, was launched with a cocktail at the Galleria of the Leonardo da Vinci Cultural Centre on Tuesday August 12th. We were treated to a wonderful art exhibition from Padova, Italy, by artists Bruno Gorlato and Albino Palma,  followed by a concert by world class violinist Giovanni Angelieri, also from Padova.

Italian Week in Montreal celebrates its 10th Anniversary in 2003, a wonderful event that makes everybody feels Italian for a week. All over the city, people are treated to various Italian flavors: food, cafés, music, art, fashion, jewelry, and all that is Italian. One of the highlights is "Moda Sotto Le Stelle" - Fashion Under The Stars - a showcase of Canadian Italian designers and their creations, followed by live music at the Old Port of Montreal.
