Looking for a "Mondo Italiano" in Pittsburgh - Story by Anna Vitaliani, Italian Journalist from RAI

Oct 14th-20th was the week dedicated to the Italian language and culture in the world. This week, we take 5mins to share this story by Italian journalist Anna Vitaliani about us, Istituto Mondo Italiano. Anna visited Pittsburgh this past summer and wanted to find, search, and research the Italian community in the "Burgh. She uncovered many stories, among others, the Pittsburgh Italian Scholarship fund, US Steel Edgar Thompson, and ours. Istituto Mondo Italiano has been acting a cultural center, Italian language school, and cooking school since 2003. Every year, close to 2,000 students, visitors, people applying for Italian citizenship, children (our Summer Camps have been voted the BEST in the BURGH) visit our center and take classes. We serve as a bridge to all the different "shades" of Italianita', from people that have just arrived two weeks ago, 2 years ago, 20 years, two generations ago, wanting to maintain the Italian cultural alive and those who are relocating to our beautiful city and need help navigating the system. We also have a boutique that features unique gifts from Italy (and yes we are already gearing up for our famous Italian Holiday Market in December) and host a weekly podcast that you have grown accustomed to, "The Italian Radio Hour" (in English), where we inform you and bring you stories from Italy, about Italy and Italians all over the world.
