it.sa and the Dante Alighieri Society of South Australia have merged!
The merge between it.sa and Dante Alighieri is exactly what the Italian community in South Australia requires. There are many Italian associations in South Australia that uphold the same ideas – to preserve the Italian culture and language. However now, with the impending closure of the consulate office, this may become a little difficult for these associations to survive and to continue to promote the Italian language, culture and life. Thus, this merge is a step forward for the future of Italian associations in South Australia.
As a Dante Alighieri sub-committee, it.sa will continue to provide its members and the young people of South Australia with great social and cultural events; be involved in projects and community engagement as currently undertaken on a regular basis with Radio Italiana, but also continue to provide an advocacy service to the youth of South Australia with information and a forum to engage with modern-day Italy here in South Australia, with a space for dialogue, exchange and divertimento (fun and excitement).
We are excited about moving into this new phase, as we have already established ourselves in the community, and now we will have the opportunity to strengthen those established links with the broader Italian community of South Australia.
In the spirit of the holidays, we would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to those who have supported up throughout the year, we are truly grateful.
It is in this spirit we wish you a
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Buon Natale ed un felice Anno Nuovo
