Culture is one of the instruments in diplomats’ toolkit to promote their country abroad. The arts play an increasingly important role in international relations and often provide a bridge to foster dialogue between countries and peoples.
Promoting the Italian language and culture
Diplomats play a key role in disseminating a knowledge of the Italian language and culture abroad, through a number of different and very varied channels. These include Italian schools abroad. This little-known aspect of our “cultural diplomacy” will be discussed in the 20th instalment of the “Diplomazia e Dintorni” programme, during which Stefano Baldi will interview Roberto Nocella, head of the MFA’s office for Italian schools abroad.
