America-Italy Society of Philadelphia
About Us
It was 1956 when a violinist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the new Italian consul general discovered a mutual love of 18th century Italian chamber music, and from their impulse to share Italian music and culture, the America-Italy Society was born.
Today, the Society, located at 1420 Walnut Street in Center City, has 750 members and a broad range of activities. Still at its core is the free concert series of the Amerita Chamber Players, all of whom are members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and an extensive Italian language program.
The Society also hosts lectures, films, art exhibits, day trips with Italian themes, and a series of study trips to Italy. The Society is also engaged internationally in the saving and restoration of Venetian art and monuments.
In fifty seven years, the America-Italy Society of Philadelphia has established itself as a center for all who thrive on the beauty of the Italian language and derive inspiration from Italian arts and culture.
