The Piazza was traditionally the center of commerce, the marketplace, and where people simply came to converse and share ideas.
That’s why we are here: to gather people to a new center where, when you’ve had enough of the typical issues and conflict, you take part in a conversation that means something to your life.
So join us 'in Piazza' throughout each month for great conversations about issues and ideas most important to advancing human potential - how we educate our kids, acquire knowledge ourselves, get better at work and build strong communities that make a great nation. Ci vediamo!
