The Italian Cultural Institute The Italian Cultural Institute in Cairooffers daily multimedia content to stay updated on the Italian language and culture even during the present situation of sanitary isolation. To follow these digital contents, connect to the institute's official Facebook page: Italian Cultural Institute and Archaeological Center. In addition to promoting the various campaigns carried out by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, such as the # WeAreItaly initiative through which many singers and writers send short messages announcing their solidarity through their art, and the #StayTunedOnItaly” initiative on everything that happens in Italy, the Italian Cultural Institute in Cairo considered organising a series of cultural initiatives specifically targeting the Egyptian public. The Italian Cultural Institute also continues its commitment in the field of contemporary art during these days, as it will provide daily contents and artistic experiences from Italy and abroad. In order to provide evidence and proofs of the importance of art, especially at the present time, the Italian Cultural Institute in Cairo launched a group of events online entitled "CreativItaly" which is dedicated to young Egyptian creators and their relationship to Italian culture, which stands as a distinct icon.
