Who We Are​​​​​​​

 

Filitalia International is a recognized non-profit organization committed to promoting the Italian language and culture in the United States. Designated as an Ente Promotore by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Filitalia operates under the jurisdiction of the Consulate General of Italy in Philadelphia as a stable and efficient cultural institution.

​

As an Ente Promotore, Filitalia International administers grants provided by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to public and private K-12 schools across the seven states served by the Consulate General of Italy in Philadelphia.

These grants support schools that wish to enhance existing Italian language programs or introduce new Italian courses.

​

Filitalia also offers preparatory courses for the Advanced Placement (AP) Italian Language and Culture Program, helping students succeed in Italian language education nationwide.

​

​

Our Mission

 

The word Filitalia means “love of Italy.”

​

Our mission is to preserve Italian heritage by encouraging the study of the Italian language and offering educational and cultural programs for the community. We believe that promoting Italian language and culture strengthens cultural identity, supports the well-being of the Italian-American community, and fosters appreciation of Italian history and traditions.

​

Learning Italian opens doors to educational, cultural, professional, and personal growth. Over the years, Italian has remained one of the most widely taught languages in American schools and universities, with increasing demand across the United States.

For more information on scholarships and initiatives supporting Italian language and culture, please visit our Programs section.
