Today, I chat with Viviana Altieri, founder of Istituto Mondo Italiano in Pittsburgh, who promotes Italian culture and language through classes, workshops, and cultural events. Originally from Rome, she moved to Pittsburgh on a $100 bet and has since built a thriving cultural center. She also hosts "The Italian Radio Hour," where she explores Italian culture, food traditions, and Italian-American identity. When not in Pittsburgh, she's often exploring Italy's hidden gems.
