Guests will gather this evening at the Cipriani Wall Street ballroom to celebrate June 2 - National Day of the Italian Republic marking the establishment of the Italian Republic on June 2, 1946. Bike to the Future is the slogan for this year’s celebrations and New York Consul General Francesco Maria Talò - referring to the important role the bicycle has played in the development of sustainable transportation - is confident that Italian bicycles will conquer the American market. “US cities and streets will soon be jammed with Vespas, 500s, and Italian bikes. They are environmentally friendly and therefore is supported by Italian institutions.” Last night, the Consul General officially opened the Italian Cultural Institute's exhibition Rotella and Cinema. Still a relatively little known artist outside Italy, last year's Mimmo Rotella show at New York's Knoedler Gallery proved his provocative talent. He was also the inventor of epistaltic poetry in 1949 - a combination of words (sometimes invented), sounds, and onomatopoeic reiteration.
