Dante Alighieri Society

Bio

The Società Dante Alighieri is an Italian cultural society named after the distinguished poet Dante Alighieri. The activities of the Società Dante Alighieri outside Italy are conducted by independent associations abroad which are constituted, or can be formed, in most important cities of the world, where interest in studying the Italian language and culture exists.

Following the understanding between the Central Council of the Società Dante Alighieri and an advisory committee, it was agreed that an overseas association should be re-established in Cape Town, where one had existed before the World War II, and which would have close ties with Società Dante Alighieri, carrying out the same aims and objectives. Consequently, the Società Dante Alighieri Città del Capo was founded in Cape Town in 1959. In 2008 a centre was established in Pietermaritzburg, Kwazulu-Natal.
