"Italian is not an imperial language, but it is far from provincial; it is a creative language that embodies humanism, culture, and the future—it is a global language.”  It is also a language that attracts and appeals. 

“This is evident among the ‘Italsimpatici’—those who are drawn to Italy for its culture, art, music, and lifestyle—as well as the many individuals of diverse origins who have chosen to build their lives in Italy, making Italian their language and contributing to a greater Italy that stretches beyond its borders.”
