Italian Cultural Institute in Paris, Cultural institution in Saint-Germain, Paris, France
The Italian Cultural Institute resides in an 18th-century mansion on rue de Varenne, featuring architectural elements from the French aristocratic period.
The building, designed by architect Legrand, served as the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1794 to 1821 before Italy purchased it in 1909.
The institute schedules Italian language courses, art exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, and conferences to promote Italian culture in France.
Located at 50 rue de Varenne in the 7th arrondissement, the institute maintains a library and organizes educational programs throughout the year.
Napoleon Bonaparte and writer Madame de Staël frequented the halls of this mansion during the early 19th century diplomatic gatherings.
