Gina Biancardi
“Casa Belvedere was created as a place where Italian culture can be experienced, shared, and passed from one generation to the next,” said Gina Biancardi, Founder and President of the Italian Cultural Foundation at Casa Belvedere. “Our Festival weekend brings all of that together; our culture, our food, our music, our families and, of course, the unmistakable beauty and excitement of Italian automobiles — in an extraordinary setting overlooking New York Harbor and the Verrazzano Bridge.”
