SUMMER 2020 Italian American Digest C iao a tutti, let me begin by saying that our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected here in the U.S. and in Italy by the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot has changed in the world since our last issue of the Italian American Digest and the AICC has experienced a handful of firsts recently. Most notably, this particular issue is digital only, a first for us and the Italian American Digest. An exciting change for the Center has been the switch to online Italian language learning. The classes have seen great success and have been so well received by students that the AICC will continue to offer online Italian classes via Zoom for our Summer session beginning June 22nd! As many of you know, Louisiana and the city of New Orleans are in the midst of a phased reopening. The AICC reopened on May 25th with many other businesses in the city. The AICC is now welcoming visitors again! We're starting slow to keep everybody safe and still encourage social distancing practices and wearing PPE. We are committed to the safety of our guests and hope to see you very soon..
