Italian Heritage Month is a celebration held every June to recognize and honour the contributions, culture, and traditions of Italian Canadians across the country.
Toronto's annual Italian Contemporary Film Festival showcases Italian cinema, storytelling, and culture through screenings and community events.
Barilla’s partnership brings Italian heritage to life while inviting consumers to enter for a chance to win a trip to Italy and an exclusive experience.
Come celebrate with us at the festival
Italian culture lives through the moments people share: food, stories, and the joy of being together. That spirit comes to life at the festival, where Barilla invites visitors to step into an open-air cinema experience. At the Barilla booth, guests get to enjoy sampling of our Barilla Cellentani and Barilla Orzo pasta! Everybody has the opportunity to take part in the spinning wheel for a chance to win prizes, including merchandise and special Limited Time Offer pasta shapes: Barilla Snowfall and Barilla Love pasta.

Where cultures meet
Since 2012, ICFF has brought people together through Italian and international cinema, art, music, and design. Today, the Festival transforms Toronto’s Distillery District into a vibrant cultural village, celebrating creativity, community, and the stories that connect us.

Rooted in Italy. Made to bring people together.
Barilla began in Parma in 1877, when Pietro Barilla opened a small bread and pasta shop built on passion, quality and hard work. Over the years, that small shop became a brand known around the world, but some things have never changed: a love of good food, respect for tradition, and a belief that shared meals can bring people closer.
