On November 22, the Consulate of Italy in Detroit and the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan hosted a sold-out evening of culinary delights and musical immersion at the Metropolitan Museum of Design Detroit. Guests indulged in healthy Mediterranean appetizers, a tasteful nod to Italy’s rich culinary traditions. As part of the silent disco experience, attendees donned headphones and danced to Italian melodies—a unique format combining modern entertainment and cultural flair. Though some Italian participants found remaining quiet in such a lively setting challenging, their warm enthusiasm only added to the evening’s charm. The celebration perfectly captured the spirit of the IX Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, highlighting health, heritage, and the deep-rooted connections that unite Italy’s global food community.
