Present in major cities across five continents, the 83 Italian Cultural Institutes are key hubs for dialogue and exchange between Italian and international intellectuals, artists, and citizens interested in engaging with Italy’s cultural heritage.
The Italian Cultural Institute of Lisbon plays an essential role in promoting Italian culture and language in Portugal through courses, events, exhibitions, and partnerships in areas such as art, music, literature, cinema, and more.
Its connection to the Via Querinissima lies in the journey of Pietro Querini himself, who stopped in Lisbon to repair his cocca (a type of Venetian ship) during the outward leg of his voyage, highlighting the historical ties between the city and the maritime routes of the time.
