Eataly NYC Flatiron Lecture & Dinner “Saints, Symbols and Spaghetti” by Rocky Ruggiero, Ph.D.

Eataly NYC Flatiron welcomes back Professor Rocky Ruggiero and the celebration of The Feast Day of All Saints – The Festa d’Ognissanti as it is called in Italian. Celebrated on November 1st since the 8th century CE, it is still truly a heartfelt holiday in Italy that collectively honors and remembers all Christian saints. During this class we will explore the sometimes violent, often bizarre, and always fascinating representations of saints and martyrs in Italian art. From St. Sebastian’s arrows to St. Lucy’s eyeballs to St. Lawrence’s barbecue grill, Prof. Ruggiero will provide an engaging, informative and entertaining lecture about saint imagery and symbolism, while guests enjoy a menu showcasing Italian dishes associated with the holiday.
