"Discover some of Columbia's most fascinating (but lesser known) archives and art spaces"
Here's what Columbia Magazine had to say:
“Founded as Casa Italiana in 1927, with funds raised at a now-legendary thousand-person dinner of prominent New Yorkers, the gracious building has provided space for scholarship, a robust fellowship program, events, and exhibitions. In two distinct gallery spaces on the first floor, the Academy hosts rotating exhibits. This fall, a photography and video installation provides a fascinating introduction to the archaeological site of Su Nuraxi di Barumini, in Sardinia, which features one of the best-known examples of a nuraghe, a distinctive Bronze Age defensive structure. In the gallery next door, get a quick introduction to the Academy’s history through a display of photos, including one of the massive dinner party that started it all.”
