The contract for the renovation, restoration and functional upgrading of the state-owned “Casa d’Italia” building, which is to house the Italian Consulate General, Cultural Institute, State Schools and Comites, was signed in Zurich on Friday 19 July.
The historic 5,000-square-metre building in the heart of Zurich, which dates back to 1919, will also house a large and modern multi-purpose hall for the organisation of events.
“I am really happy,” said Consul General of Italy in Zurich Mario Baldi, “that after seven years of waiting, construction work is finally starting. Our goal is to celebrate the Italian Republic Day 2026 at the new “Casa d’Italia”, which will be indeed the home of all Italians”.
