Once the conver-sion of this 1908 land marked gem turned Italian Arts and Cultural Center is complete it will change the landscape of New York City forever! More importantly, Casa Bel-vedere and its surrounding three acres of hilltop property salutes the tens of thousands of Italian immigrants whose hard work and sacrifices greatly contributed to the build-ing of this great nation.
