This year, once again, we will be having our grand opening cocktail party at the official residence of Canada's representative to the Italian state. Located on the grounds of the homes of an Imperial Prefect of ancient Rome and of Scipio Africanus, the residence is bordered by the beautifully-preserved remains of the acqueduct that fed the nearby Baths of Caracalla.
When: Thursday, September 27, 2012
The Canadian Club of Rome thanks H.E. James Fox, Ambassador
of Canada, and Mrs Nurys Estrella Fox, CCR Patrons of Honour, for opening their gorgeous villa grounds to us again this year.
The open bar will be serving both an alcohol-based and non-alcoholic version of a specially-created cocktail, in addition to sangria, Bellini cocktails, and still and sparkling water.
Finger food will include an assortment of tapas such as tortilla de patatas and tortilla de espinacas; crostini with escarole and black olives, with pancetta, soft stracchino cheese and spicy Calabrian n'duja, and with anchovies and bufala mozzarella; cups of basmati rice with crunchy vegetables; Caprese salad skewers; peppery cheese potato croquettes; and mini-meatballs in tomato sauce.
