When Fabio Finotti welcomes us to the Italian Institute of Culture, he acts like a gracious host. The Director has been in New York for one year, but he is already comfortable with the many cultural Italian realities of the city.
We chose to interview him last for this series of articles dedicated to the promoters of our heritage, because he is the direct representative of the institutions. The organization he runs, created in 1961, was funded by the Italian government and operates under the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the advisory committee and its staff, to promote cultural exchanges between Italy and the United States, including art, humanities, science and technology.
