Together, we’re uniting the City of Providence through The Splendor of Florence Presents: Sott'Acqua - A Tale of Two Cities Underwater. Our planning committee is proud to draw attention to critical climate issues—especially urban flooding—by engaging our community through the arts and highlighting the rich culinary traditions of both Providence and Florence.

In light of recent severe storms affecting North Carolina and Florida, we aim to leverage our platform to support World Central Kitchen (WCK), a remarkable organization dedicated to providing food relief in times of crisis. Founded by chef José Andrés, WCK has responded to numerous disasters, including Hurricanes Milton and Helene.

Through our artistic and culinary endeavors, we can educate, engage, and empower individuals to take meaningful action. Please join us in this vital mission—every contribution makes a difference. Let’s stand together to nourish those in need.
