Cultural relations between Italy and Canada are constantly growing.
Every year, different events dedicated to Italian culture and tradition are organized in major Canadian cities. The Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, the Week of the Italian Language in the World, Italian Design Day and the many art exhibitions are just some of the celebrations that take place in Canada. In the film sector, festivals such as The European Union Film Festival and the Italian Contemporary Film Festival – the largest festival of Italian contemporary cinema outside Italy – are opportunities to honour masters of the Italian cinema.
By bringing together a multitude of artistic, religious, social, musical and culinary elements, these events enhance the traditions and the uniqueness of our Country.
The Cultural Section of the Embassy of Italy in Ottawa plays an important role in enhancing cultural relations between the two countries through a variety of activities for the promotion of the Italian language and the protection of cultural heritage.
