2009 National Conference


Status and Promotion of Italian in the USA

By - Rita Prigioni

Giovanna Miceli Jeffries and Italian Ambassador, Giovanni CastellanettaOn June 13, 2009, Giovanna Miceli Jeffries, representing WisItalia, attended the second national conference on the status and promotion of Italian in the USA. The conference was successfully organized by NIAF and the Italian Embassy of Washington D.C. to bring together representatives from various Italian-American organizations, Italian language non–profit organizations (Enti Gestori, such as WisItalia), representatives of Italian departments, Italian teachers and professional associations, consular educational officers, etc.

The focus of the meeting was to assess, evaluate, discuss, share and plan issues and initiatives pertaining to the teaching of Italian in this country’s public and private schools. Participants represented all the consular areas: Boston, Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Miami, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The conference was hosted in the new Italian Embassy—a striking ultramodern architecture.
