The Prize

Experience a once in a life-time guided tour for two of the Teatro alla Scala and its facilities. This unique tour is not available to the public and will take you on a journey through the celebrated La Scala stage and recently restored auditorium with stops at the theater’s famous royal box, gold boxes and prompter’s box.

In addition to visiting the theater’s breathtaking chandelier and new fly tower, this behind-the-scenes experience will highlight the Ansaldo Workshops where La Scala’s master production artists design and create each performance’s staging and costumes, the La Scala Museum and Accademia Teatro alla Scala’s Ballet School.

During your time in the fashion capital enjoy a 4-night stay for two in Milan, Italy, at the luxurious Grand Hotel et de Milan. Located just a few meters from Teatro alla Scala, some of opera’s most important artists have stayed in this hotel ranging from Maestro Giuseppe Verdi, who stayed here from 1872 while working on “Othello” and “Falstaff” to the great tenor Enrico Caruso, coming to Milan to perform Toscanini’s “Germania” in 1902.

The Cause

NIAF’s mission is to serve as a resource for the Italian American Community; to preserve the Italian American heritage and culture; to promote and inspire a positive image and legacy of Italian Americans; and to strengthen and empower ties between the United States and Italy.

NIAF’s two most important purposes are to encourage Italian Americans to continue keeping their culturally rich heritage and traditions alive and present, and to ensure that the entire community never forgets the great contribution that Italians have made to the history and progress of the United States. To this end, the Foundation actively collaborates with the United States Congress and the White House on all major issues affecting Italian Americans.

To celebrate the great legacy that unites us and all the objectives achieved so far, NIAF organizes its Anniversary Gala every October in Washington, D.C., which is usually attended by the President of the United States; figureheads from the political, financial and cultural arenas; illustrious Italian Americans; and about 1,200 guests from the United States and Italy.

On this occasion, the Foundation awards honors to eminent Italian and Italian American personalities who have distinguished themselves in their professional or civic role. In the past, NIAF has honored personalities such as Antonin Scalia, who was the first Italian American judge of the United States Supreme Court; Frank Sinatra; Joe Di Maggio; Lee Iacocca; Liza Minnelli; Luciano Pavarotti; and Sofia Loren.
