Sixty travel loving bellas (and the men who love us) gathered on April 8th at the Williams Club in NYC to hear Susan Van Allen discuss her book 100 Places in Italy Every Woman Should Go. Guests sipped on refreshing Asti Spumanti DOCG and nibbled on tasty sweets courtesy of Dolce Italia (Italian Confectioners Association).
Guests interested in planning a trip to Italy were able to get information 
from Country Walkers about walking tours. Learn Italy was also in attendance to share information about their Italian language classes and cultural events in NYC and abroad. Thank you to all who attended and to Idlewild Books for selling copies of Susan's book at the event. I look forward to seeing you at the next soiree!
