The Convivio Society in San Diego presents 

An Evening You Can't Refuse With Gianni Russo

An Evening You Can't Refuse With Gianni Russo

Celebrating The Godfather 50th Anniversary

Presenters: The Little Italy Heritage Commission powered by Convivio, in conjunction with the Little Italy Association

Join us for our Little Italy signature event for 2022 as we present Gianni Russo (Carlo in The Godfather) as he recounts stories from the iconic film, provides excerpts from his best-selling book (Hollywood Godfather), and croons and swoons you with the musical repertoire that has shaped his life. Gianni will take you on an enlightening journey, enchanting you with tales from the greatest film ever made and offering you an intimate view of his captivating life as he fondly recounts the importance of family, faith, and food. We will also hold an auction for a private dinner for 10 at Gianni's home in New York to help benefit our causes!

Your ticket purchase helps to support our nonprofit organization and our vision to establish a large-scale Italian cultural center and heritage museum for San Diego. Thank you for your support! Learn more at littleitalyheritage.org. Click here for more info.
