Filitalia International
is a non-profit organization, founded in 1987, to promote and preserve the
Italian heritage, language, and customs throughout the world. The goal
of Filitalia International is to solidify and expand the Italian
culture, tradition, and heritage through social and humanitarian
events. We offer many programs including Scholarships for younger
members, Italian Language classes, networking events for young
professionals, and cultural events to experience and learn about the
Italian Culture firsthand.
Since its conception in 1987, Filitalia has continued to grow and has
reached International status with 20 Chapters in 5 different countries
and is ever expanding. Our entire organization has been built by the
efforts of dedicated volunteers whose love of the Italian Culture has
served as a perpetual light to communities throughout the world. The
word ‘Filitalia’ means just
that, “Love for Italy”. Our
mission is to protect and preserve the Italian heritage and culture and
encourage the study of the Italian language.
Our language classes are taught by qualified native Italian speakers who
have a passion for Italy
as well as teaching. The classes are taught throughout the Chapters and
at our Center in the heart of South Philadelphia.
The “M.Fabrizio & P.Nestico
Center for Language and Culture” is located on E. Passyunk Ave
and Mifflin Streets. It was opened in 2005 and is the home to our
cultural events as well. We offer a variety of Italian Language Classes
to accommodate all levels of learners. Currently we offer Beginners I,
Beginners II, Intermediate, and Advanced classes. Our mission of
providing Italian classes to all of society at affordable rates is
realized through our language program at Filitalia International.
