Under the guidance of the U.S. Embassy to Italy and the Office of American Spaces in Washington D.C. , and joining over 600 American Corners in more than 140 countries, Italy’s American Corners are creating spaces for connection, learning, and cultural exchange. With three locations now open, the American Corners in Trieste, Pistoia, and Palermo serve as lively centers for American culture, English language practice, and cross-cultural dialogue.
Founded in 2007, the American Corner Trieste was the first of its kind in Italy. Hosted by the Associazione Italo Americana FVG, this center has offered Trieste a range of American-centered programs: film screenings, language courses, cultural workshops, STEM activities, educational advising, skills building projects and even a celebrated Fourth of July event. The center is a valued part of Trieste’s cultural scene, drawing locals, students, and American enthusiasts alike. Its long-standing presence has paved the way for the American Corner concept to expand to other Italian cities.
The American Corner in Pistoia, known as YouLab Pistoia, is another key addition to Italy's network of American Corners. Although its exact founding year is unclear, YouLab Pistoia offers a unique twist by combining American culture with digital literacy. Hosted by the Biblioteca San Giorgio, YouLab Pistoia is a creative space where technology and culture meet. Programs include everything from English conversation practice to workshops on digital skills, empowering local residents with tools that blend American innovation and Italian creativity.
The newest addition to the family, American Corner Palermo, opened its doors in October 2024, with programming opportunities starting in 2025. Hosted by the Fondazione Falcone, this center stands as a tribute to intercultural friendship and the shared commitment to justice, given the Fondazione’s dedication to combating organized crime in Sicily. By fostering cultural exchange, this American Corner is poised to enrich Palermo’s cultural landscape, creating new avenues for understanding and collaboration between Italy and the United States.
Each of these American Corners brings a unique dimension of American culture to its host city. Together, they offer an impressive array of resources, from language and digital skills to educational and cultural experiences that deepen the ties between Italians and Americans. With the American Corner network growing, the future looks bright for cultural exchange across Italy, fostering a sense of shared values and creating bridges between two vibrant cultures.
Whether you're a local, an American living in Italy, or simply curious, these centers are worth visiting. Check out an American Corner near you and dive into this unique blend of Italian and American cultures!
