Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò

Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò, located at 24 West 12th Street in Manhattan, is the home of the Department of Italian Studies at New York University.

The donation consisted of the purchase and complete restoration of the 19th century household in the Greenwich Village, situated near Washington Square.

Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò was founded with the specific intent of spreading Italian culture outside of its national boundaries.

The programs of Casa Italiana deal with literature, cinema and political and social reflection.

Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò houses and involves itself with Italian artists, scholars and politicians, whose presence engages new points of discussion, opening and encouraging dialog with Americans on Italian life and culture.
