UNISCITI A NOI

Our mission is to bring together people from all walks, backgrounds, professions, and ethnicities, who share a common love of Italian food, language and, most of all, Culture.
The idea is that we do so not in the sterile atmosphere of a classroom, but through intimate social and learning gatherings and experiences – just like the people of Italy do when they get together.
It is the Italian way of life that we would like to share for the enjoyment of all.
The DAS members regularly get information about the upcoming cultural events. A good way to get info is also our Instagram and Facebook pages.
Members provide critical funds to support the work and activities of Dante Alighieri Society.

As a member, you will connect with fellow Italy enthusiasts, participate in unique experiential offerings, and deepen your appreciation of Italy and its rich legacy.
