*CAETANI TRAVELOGUE: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY*

Wednesday, January 29, 2020

7 – 9 pm

Caetani Centre Studio Gallery

3401 Pleasant Valley Road, Vernon

Tickets: $10.00 – A Fundraiser for the Caetani Heritage Display



Journey over a millennia back in time through the misty past, to explore
the ancestral lands and holdings of the aristocratic and influential
Caetani family. Stretching from 8th century Italy to the present, their
epic story eventually connects to our own small Okanagan town of Vernon, BC
in the early 20th century.

Caetani Centre’s Executive Director Susan Brandoli travelled to Italy this
past June and spent time traversing many of the historic Caetani
properties. While staying in the 13th century Castello Caetani, walking the
cobbled streets of Sermoneta (one of the best preserved Medieval towns in
all of Italy), and meeting with representatives of the four remaining
Italian Caetani foundations in Rome and Latina, Brandoli created a
photographic documentation of her travels. Featuring art, architecture,
travel, history, heritage and more!

Explore the wetlands of the Pontine Marshes, ancient Roman ruins, and the
famous Gardens of Ninfa. From the hilltop fortress of Sermoneta and other
Caetani strongholds, to spectacular Mediterranean villas and parklands, the
Caetani family was one of the most prominent historic Italian families,
counting popes, statesmen, scholars, musicians and artists among its
members.

Join us for an illustrated evening of colourful history, dark curses,
illuminating travel and high adventure!

Tickets are $10 each, and are available online at www.caetani.org or call
the Caetani office at 250-275-1525. Space is limited so we suggest booking
your ticket ahead of the event.

All proceeds to assist with funding the Caetani Heritage Display set to
open summer 2020!
