La Società Dante Alighieri, fondata a Roma nel 1889, diffonde la lingua e la cultura italiana nel mondo, fra tutti gli stranieri che guardano con affetto e si interessano ai valori antichi e nuovi della nostra civiltà, e tra le collettività dei lavoratori italiani all’estero, che desiderano mantenere vivi i legami con la madre patria.
Possono far parte della “Dante Alighieri” tutte le persone indipendentemente da ogni nazionalità, confessione religiosa o politica, che accettano il suo Statuto e partecipano all’opera civile e pacifica svolta dalla Società nel mondo.

From Italy…
about italy danteSome of the most distinguished literary figures of the 19th century founded the Dante Alighieri Society in 1889 in Rome to perpetuate the accomplishments of Dante and his sense of Italian style. Soon after, chapters began springing up in all parts of the world where Italian communities were growing. There are 482 chapters worldwide which promote the understanding and appreciation of Italy’s contributions to civilization from medieval times to the present.
