Established in 2001, the Italian Cultural Institute in Slovenia – Istituto Italiano di Cultura – is a cultural arm of the Italian Foreign Ministry and has a mission to promote the Italian language and culture in Slovenia. The institute fosters vital cooperation between Italian and Slovene institutions in the fields of science, education, and culture, especially in the contemporary arts. Every month it hosts numerous cultural events, including small-scale exhibitions, readings, and screenings. The Italian Cultural Institute in Slovenia incorporates a library with a collection of books and audio-visual materials related to Italian culture.

The institute both assists Italian private and public organisations to present artistic projects in Ljubljana and other Slovene cities and supports Slovene organisers to bring Italian artists to Slovenia. Meetings, seminars, and courses are organised in cooperation with the universities in Sienna, Peruggia, and Rome.

Funding

The Italian Cultural Institute in Slovenia is also engaged in the administration of stipends and funding initiatives offered by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for example, an annual competition for the co-funding of translations of work by Italian authors.
