Raising Bilingual Bambini: The Art of Immersing our Family in La Dolce Vita Monday, November 16, 2026 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM Join author Eric Dregni for an engaging cultural program inspired by his fast-paced memoir and travelogue, Raising Bilingual Bambini! After living in Modena, Italy, for three years with his wife, Katy, Eric returned to frozen Minnesota determined to raise their three children bilingually. His unconventional approach? Pretending he had forgotten how to speak English! Despite puzzled relatives and curious fellow shoppers, the family persevered, eventually traveling to Florence so their children could attend Italian school in the heart of Renaissance Italy. Blending humor, sincerity, and cultural discovery, Dregni shares a heartfelt story about family, language, and finding a sense of home in a new place.
