The Italian Cultural Society of Washington D.C. is a non-profit organization that aims to enhance the appreciation and knowledge of Italian language and culture. With a history dating back to the 19th century, the society offers a wide range of cultural and social events, as well as courses to learn or improve Italian language skills. As an Ente Gestore recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the society works closely with the Italian Cultural Institute and the Italian Embassy to promote the Italian language and culture in the Washington metropolitan area. Membership is open to all individuals interested in Italian culture, regardless of their background or nationality. Dr. Maria Guarrera Wilmeth, the founder of the Italian Language Program, played a significant role in establishing the society as a leading educational institution for the Italian community. Through collaborations with the Education Office of the Embassy of Italy, the society provides educational services and serves as a welcoming venue for Americans interested in learning the Italian language and exploring Italian culture. Dr. Wilmeth's efforts also led to successful programs, such as "The Art of Teaching Italian through Italian Art," which brought teachers from across the United States to Rome. The society continues to organize cultural events, offer scholarships, and work towards strengthening the bonds between the Italian and American people.Generated from the website
