A Night in Torino: An Evening for a Cause

Step into the elegance and charm of Torino for a truly special evening inspired by one of Italy’s most refined and captivating cities.

Guided by Nadia Magnanini—Professor of Italian at the Lauder Institute, University of Pennsylvania, and a Torino native—this immersive experience will bring the city to life through its art, history, and cultural traditions. From its royal past as Italy’s first capital to its legacy of innovation and intellectual life, Torino offers a unique blend of sophistication and depth that will unfold throughout the evening.

Guests will enjoy a curated selection of food and wine inspired by Torino’s rich culinary heritage, known for its elegance, precision, and unforgettable flavors—from artisanal specialties to iconic pairings that define the city’s gastronomic identity.

This evening is not only a celebration of culture, but also an opportunity to support a meaningful cause.
