About

The Società Dante Alighieri was founded in July 1889 with the main purpose to “promote the study of the Italian language and culture throughout the world . . . a purpose independent of political ideologies, national or ethnic origins or religious beliefs, and that the Society is the free association of people—not just Italians—but all people everywhere who are united by their love for the Italian languages and culture and the spirit of universal humanism that these represent.”
