The dinner takes place on Sunday, April 13 at the Romagna-Mia Restaurant, 106 Front Street East. The event is a fundraiser to benefit the programs and exchanges of artists between Italy and Canada of the International Resource Centre for Performing Artists. A reception will begin at 5:30 p.m., 6. The evening will include live musical performances and an auction. Maestro Kerry Stratton will serve as master of ceremonies for the evening.

The live musical performances will feature artists who have benefitted from IRCPA programs. Many of the featured recipes come from Good Ciao, Mr. Russo's second book of Tuscan cuisine, released in January. The meal offers four tantalizing courses, including veal, chicken, vegetarian and vegan dishes, and an irresistible flourless chocolate cake among the desserts.

Highlight of the prizes for auction will be a three-day visit for two at Mr. Russo's spectacular Parco Fiorito 16 th century estate and organic farm near Cortona. It was the location for the filming of Under the Tuscan Sun. Tickets are $150 per person. Corporate tables of seven are $1,400.
