ABOUT / THE IIC

The Italian Institute of Culture of Buenos Aires was founded in 1940 with the name of Centro Studi Italiani. During the Second World War it was closed; in 1952 it was reopened again, in its current location, under the name of Centro Italiano di Studi. A few years later, it was decided to give this institution the same name with which it is known in the rest of the world: the Italian Institute of Culture.
