SICE 2025 – 2026 : Our Farewell Tour - “Siamo Amici Per Sempre”
With great anticipation tempered by mixed emotions, SICE unveils its calendar for the 2025-26 season. Your Executive Board has expanded its already wide horizons by offering NINE diverse events ranging from artistic lectures to panel discussions on female Italian immigrants, four classics of Italian cinema to a discussion of “IL Trovatore” by Maestro DeRenzi with accompanying singers, and a Christmas celebration of regional Italian cuisine to a culminating farewell luncheon highlighting all that SICE has presented during its twenty-four year existence.
​
The reality that our organization has run its course . . . and what a joyful ride it has been . . . has not deterred us from putting this year’s accent on CELEBRATION rather than REMORSE. We don’t buy into the cliché that “all good things must come to an end” and thereby dwell on sadness. SICE chooses rather to double down on its mission by continuing to highlight the finest examples of Italian culture and end its run as it began back in 2002.
​
Now, dear friends, it is your turn to join the festivities by registering for all we have planned for you. Please read the event descriptions on this website along with the membership and registration forms and proceed accordingly. Remember, too, that we have provided a bonus for you, our members; namely, a FREE film, “Summertime” (in Venice) in appreciation of the ongoing support you have shown for our film program over the years.
​
Permit me to add that I am personally excited about our upcoming season and cannot wait for it to begin. We all hope to see a lot of each other between early November and late April. Until then, “Siamo Amici per Sempre!” (We are friends forever!)

Con Affetto,
