Founded in 1950, the Institute now occupies an exclusive three-story building built in 1889 by the Amat family, included in the Architectural Heritage List of the Municipality of Barcelona. It was later purchased by Casa degli Italiani, a charitable association created to help Italian nationals in Catalonia at the end of the 20th Century. The building is located in the heart of the city, only a couple hundred meters from the Paseo de Gracia, the prestigious avenue crossing the city of Barcelona. The building, which is currently owned by the Italian State, hosts the Library, the director\u2019s office and the five classrooms and offices used for Italian language and culture courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Between \u201cThe Teacher from Vigevano\u201d (\u201cIl maestro di Vigevano\u201d, 1963) to \u201cInvestigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion\u201d (\u201cIndagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto\u201d, 1970), there are several milestones that Elio Petri handed down to the history of the cinema.\u00a0The Roman-born film director (1929 -82) will be celebrated in Barcelona throughout the […]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[32,9],"class_list":["post-53777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-approfondimenti","tag-diplomazia-culturale","tag-europa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53777\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
