Posters & Cocktails: Italian Fascism

What calls for a stiff drink more than the history of Italian Fascism? Join Nicholas Lowry of Swann Auctions Galleries, Don Spiro of the Green Fairy Society, and our very own Executive Director & Curator, Angelina Lippert, for an evening of terrifying megalomania (and we’re not only talking about their egos!). Like Nero, laugh while Rome burns in this deeply inappropriate romp through Mussolini’s rise to power and horrific downfall—all accompanied by the gourmet level of alcoholic drinks that one would expect from the culinary capital of the world. 

The night’s events will switch between specialty Italian-themed cocktails and the witty reparté of Nicho and Angelina as they highlight some of the best posters produced during the worst period in modern Italian history. Ticket prices include three custom-made cocktails.
