Opera Italiana is in the Air was created in 2017 in Central Park, New York, from a conversation between Daniele Bodini, Chairman of the FIAC Foundation, and Alvise Casellati, Conductor and former Secretary of FIAC. Since then, its success has been exponential and it has expanded from Central Park, New York to the cities of Washington and Miami and to Italy: Naples, Milan and Rome. Opera Italiana is in the Air has become an unmissable annual event. Maestro Casellati obtained an international trademark for it registered in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Russia, South Korea and Japan until 2031.
