What a day at Il Centro 🇮🇹⭐️
We teamed up with @vancouver_italians as Vanessa caught up with Jeff Gentile and Il Centro President Randy following the event, reflecting on an unforgettable day for soccer and our community here in Vancouver!
With legends like Cafu, Demetrio Albertini, Marco Materazzi, Patrizia Panico, Hristo Stoichkov, David Trezeguet, Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso, Marcel Desailly, Maicon, and Adriano Galliani all in the building, it’s one of those moments you don’t take for granted.
A special thank you to Victor Montagliani for helping make this happen for our community. @montaglianiac16 Grazie ❤️

Math kids, book lovers, and curious minds… this one’s for you ✨📚
Join us at Il Centro for a special free presentation of The Math Olympian (Bethany alle Olimpiadi di Matematica) with author Richard Hoshino — UBC math professor, author, and now officially one of our Italian students 🇮🇹
The story follows a teenager navigating life, pressure, and her love for math… and somehow makes math feel cinematic. Goodreads even ranked it one of the best books for young scientists to read before 20 👀
We’re also excited to share that our Library has the Italian edition added to our catalogue, signed by the author 🤍📖
Richard will also be joined by: ✨ Irene Fabris: Vancouver software developer + data scientist originally from Veneto ✨ Anna Johnson: a 13-year-old reader who loved the book so much she asked to meet the author herself
📍 Museum of Il Centro 📅 Saturday, May 23 ⏰ 10:30 AM ☕ Coffee, juice & cookies included
