Thanks for coming
to the first Italian
Life Expo!
You came — you sipped and savored the wines, meats, cheeses and culinary delights offered by our wonderful exhibitors — all while enjoying informative presentations and planning your next trip to Italy with our Italian travel and tour experts. Many of you also found time to scoop up the beautiful housewares and accessories for sale direct from artisans — from beautiful copper pans and hand painted pottery to luxurious, Italian wool scarves.
The event was a great success thanks to everyone involved — our guests, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and committees. A very special thanks is also due to our premier sponsor, Auto Europe who supported the vision of this very special event. And to the inspiring work of our co-presenters the Spannocchia Foundation and the Institute for Italian Studies in Portland. The proceeds of the event went to support the educational programs of these two important organizations.
