Italian Film Series

The Italian Film Series and the Frank DiMino Casa Italiana are proud to bring contemporary Italian films to the Rochester area.

Films will be screened at the Peace Theater (Room A14), located at the lower level of Nazareth's Arts Center (map). There is ample free parking in Lot A.

Each film screening is followed by a dinner at the Frank DiMino Casa Italiana, located across the parking lot from the Arts Center.

Film tickets:

  • Free for Nazareth students, faculty, and staff.
