The emergence of a new generation of Italian entrepreneurs and professionals in the Bay Area, coupled with a renewed interest in Italy as a global center of culture, have fueled the growth of various educational institutions, each with its own personality but all with one major element in common: a desire to make Italian culture part of our everyday life.

BAIA has assembled a panel of key representatives from Italian educational institutions in the Bay Area to discuss whether we are really living a Renaissance in Italian culture in the Bay Area, and what lies ahead for their businesses. BAIA will host a panel style discussion that will address questions such as:

• Are we witnessing the beginning of a boom in Italian pre-school education?
• How are educational institutions responding?
• What role will social and economic factors play in the future?
• Can a viable primary education business be made out of this?
• Is there room for a pan-Italian school like the Germans or the French have?

• Marco Salardi - Italian Consulate Education Counselor
• Rosella Pusateri - Girotondo Italian School (Marin)
• Valentina Imbeni - La Piccola Scuola Italiana (SF)
• Angelo Del Priore - Mondo Bambini (Berkeley)
