Casa Belvedere
The Italian Cultural Foundation
A Unique Campus Showcasing the Rich Heritage & Culture of Italy
In the Italian language, Casa Belvedere means “house with a beautiful view” and nowhere is this more evident than at 79 Howard Avenue in Staten Island. With its lavish grounds and rich history, Casa Belvedere, a New York City historic landmark, sits on nearly three acres atop Grymes Hill and boasts a spectacular view of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and the New York Harbor. It is a tribute to those who came before us and symbolizes the past while shaping the future.
Through innovative programs, exhibits, and events, the Foundation seeks to preserve and promote an appreciation of Italian language, arts, literature, history, fashion, cuisine, and commerce while also celebrating the Italian heritage and the contributions of Italians and Italian-Americans to the fabric of the United States.
Anyone who shares an affinity and appreciation for "everything Italian" is invited to participate in Casa Belvedere’s activities where the culture and the traditions of Italy can be truly experienced and enjoyed.
