Molto bene!

The Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge’s Community Gallery presents a reception for their “Passport to Italy” collection Friday. A salute to that bastion of art and culture, the exhibit features new, original works by local painters, photographers, and jewelers who find themselves obsessed with bella Italia. The reception takes place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and will feature homemade breads and other Italian foods from Nino’s Italian restaurant.
