Remarque Institute

The Department of Italian Culture

Since the beginning of 2024, the Foundation for Italian Culture has launched a significant collaboration with the prestigious Remarque Institute, together creating the Department of Italian Culture. This initiative aims to promote academic research and in-depth studies on the history, traditions, and cultural evolution of Italy.

The primary goal of the Department of Italian Culture is to sponsor and support researchers and scholars engaged in studying Italian history, encouraging research projects that explore the richness of our cultural heritage and its many facets. Thanks to the partnership with the Remarque Institute, a leading global research center, the department offers development opportunities for young scholars, facilitating access to resources, scholarships, and research programs that enable them to explore Italian culture in an innovative and interdisciplinary manner.

This collaboration represents another important step for the Foundation in internationalizing Italian cultural identity, aiming to establish Italy as a global academic hub. The dialogue with internationally renowned institutions, such as the Remarque Institute, allows for a broader perspective on Italian culture, not only from a national viewpoint but also in a global context, encouraging cross-cultural exchanges and the sharing of research methodologies.

Through the Department of Italian Culture, the Foundation not only stimulates academic production related to the historical, artistic, and social development of Italy but also contributes to the preservation and enhancement of our cultural roots, making them accessible to new generations and a growing international audience.

This collaborative project highlights the Foundation’s commitment to promoting Italy as a center of cultural and intellectual excellence, forging a strong connection between the past, present, and future of our culture through the contribution of scholarly research and critical reflection.
