La Società Italiana Atlanta

My cousin Jeff was recently asked about his favorite "life lesson quote" and how it applies to his life. His response was the Italian proverb "Chi dorme non piglia pesci," which means "He who sleeps does not catch fish." Jeff, whose family hails from the Abruzzo region in Italy, related this proverb to his real estate business. In real estate, you must always be actively seeking opportunities, much like fishing for the next big catch. Jeff's business strategy involves juggling multiple projects simultaneously, each at different stages of the real estate life cycle – from acquisition and construction to sale.

Jeff credits his aunt and uncle for taking him in at the age of 18 and teaching him everything he knows. His entrepreneurial spirit is deeply ingrained in his family roots, and his fearless approach has been key to his ongoing success.

Good morning,
for the third consecutive year, Italy will participate in the European Film Festival in Atlanta which will be held next May 2024.
We can proudly state that last year's Italian screening was the one with the largest audience, guaranteeing us, for this edition, a larger screening room so as to be able to offer more seats to patrons.
This year too we are looking for companies or individuals who want to contribute financially to the organization of the festival which is, we repeat, non-profit.
The sponsors' logos will be projected on the screens of the cinemas during the film event.
For further information, you can reach us by writing to [email protected]
See you soon

Festa Di San Martino Wine Tasting on Saturday, November 4, 2023 from 5:30 P.M. - 9:00 P.M.

Hosted at Parish Kohanim Gallery in the Galleries of Peachtree Hills was a great event.

Mr. James Trevor Wright who is a master sommelier was our guest speaker. The Master Sommelier diploma is the highest distinction a professional can achieve in fine wine and beverage service. The first Master Sommelier examination was successfully held in the United Kingdom in 1969. James passed his test in 1971, becoming the ninth master sommelier in England.

Currently, there are 273 professionals worldwide who have received the title of Master Sommelier since it was established in 1969.

We had a great time with amazing food to pair with our wines!
