Benevenuti! Welcome...

Although Fargo lies more than four thousand miles from Rome, Italy remains a top destination for local cultural enthusiasts and travelers alike. But the American image of its favorite foreign destination remains surrounded by a swirl of misleading generalities, guidebook hype, and sometimes poor or exaggerated imitations of Italian cuisine.

Our mission at the Italia Institute is to provide local North Dakota-Minnesota culturati and travelers with a fresh understanding of true Italy through creative classes in Italian culture and language.
