ITALY’S AMBASSADOR IN THE WORLD
Founded in the early 1920’s with the aim of teaching Italian civilization and artistic heritage to foreigners, the University for Foreigners in Perugia has distinguished itself from the beginning as a symbol of open-mindedness and tolerance and as a meeting point for people of different cultures, now a real ‘laboratory’ of intercultural education. Its exclusive identity is currently represented by the specialist vocation of teaching Italian as a second language and everything that goes with it such as art, literature and business.
