Enjoy a trip back in time as Debora Di Centa and her fellow dancers take us on a journey inspired by the Italian Renaissance.

Lose yourself in the music and kick up your heels as DJ Joe (Joe Pelle) takes us through some of Italy’s best known and loved songs.

The evening will include silent and live auctions. Items for auction include a weeks’ vacation in the Chianti wine region of beautiful Tuscany, artworks, and a wine tour for ten.
