On Saturday, April 15th at the Palazzo Brancaccio in the historic city of Rome, an event to honor all who contributed to the making and preserving of the Pratt Rome Program took place. In particular, former director Richard Piccolo and student services coordinator Emanuela Ricciardi were honored with the creation of a scholarship fund in their name for future students. The gala was attended by nearly 400 guests, making it one of the largest alumni events in the history of Pratt Institute.
