Culture is an essential element of Italian identity in the world and represents a material and immaterial heritage that can be drawn on to face the contemporary challenges. It includes in its own right the Italian language as a legacy of the past and a bridge to the future, and scientific research, a sector in which our country can boast world-class peaks of excellence.<\/p>\n
It is the task if the Directorate General for Public and Cultural Diplomacy of the Ministry of Foreign Affair to support and promote the Italian language, culture and science in the world.<\/p>\n
