ITALIAN LANGUAGE:
Marketing our
beautiful language
in the US
By Berardo Paradiso
After the General Convention
Of Italian Language in the
World, held in the beautiful
city of Florence in 2014, I felt
the need to investigate more
accurately the status and potential teaching of Italian language in the US. The subject
is complex, so it will face in
various stages to be able to
cover comprehensively. I will
start by saying that the Board
of Directors of IACE in New
York shares the goal identified
by the current Italian government to spread in a more uniform way the Italian language
and culture abroad as vehicles
to support Made in Italy, but
above all as vehicles of growth
in exports of Italian products
to countries and people who
love Italy and speak Italian.
