The Italian Cultural Institute in Washington, DC promotes, organizes, and sponsors a variety of events with the goal of strengthening the cultural exchange between the United States and Italy. All initiatives are conceived to offer the American public a deeper and wider knowledge of contemporary Italian culture.
