English Version

The Associazione Italo Americana FVG, non-profit and recognized the the FVG region, was founded in 1961. Initially it acted as a liaison between the US Government and the people of Trieste, after the closure of U.S.I.S. (United States Information Service).  Until 2006 the US Consulate was also located within the Association.  

The mission of the Association is to promote U.S. Culture and English Learning, as well as friendship and understanding between the United States and Italy.  

Today the Association continues to offer English Courses,  events and activities in English for members and the general public.
