Società Dante Alighieri

The Società Dante Alighieri is the oldest Italian association to deal with teaching the Italian language to foreigners, and has done this ever since its founding. The Committee of the Società Dante Alighieri of Florence is the Society’s only resident one in this city. In thus representing to all effects the Società Dante Alighieri, a non-profit organisation founded in 1889, it offers courses in the Italian language and culture that are authorised by the Government with Presidential Decree No. 1892 of 16 December 1960. Other institutions in Florence named for the Divine Poet are not representatives of the Società Dante Alighieri. Both the administrative department and the school are housed in a single location, in Via Gino Capponi No. 4.
