The space of italophony and Italiasimpatia

The space of italophony and Italiasimpatia.


By highlighting immediately the fact that Italy does not invest in the spread of Italian language around the world we can find in the world a real interest in our civilization despite the inadequate political interest in this cultural policy.
In fact there is a real "italsimpatia" around the world, a strong attraction which is a translation for a world of quality, history, culture, style, art and music and much more. This Italian spirit, which is not aggressive and imperialist, but speaks about humanism and good living ( lets think for example on Italian cuisine).

 To take up the concept of promoting Italian, we need to tie this concept firmly to a notion of beauty, taste, art and music. In short, Italian as a particular and universal language available for everyone. This preamble was pronounced by President Mattarella during the Dante conference in Buenos Aires to highlight the central role of the Italian language as an essential figure of the Italian identity. People intend to study Italian to nourish their spirit and to approach the unique Italian heritage in term of artistic and literary field. The challenge for the Italian language would be to be to become spokesman for Italy in its all cultural and commercial interest in term of making know the products of the famous Made in Italy. In the national field this  concept of "Italsimpatia" must be translated into becoming a language that acts as a bridge between the various communities present in the territory and also becomes a vehicle of integration between Italian citizens and new Italians.

This space of italophony is not obvious and the Italian State need a structured agenda to show to the rest of the world the signals of our civilization in an interesting and useful way. The idea of ​​Dante Society shows the idea of an Italian identity as a intersection of the exchange of civilizations. The exchange must be the figure of the identity. The concept of Italsimpatia must also know how to maintain the bond with the many young Italians who go to live abroad. This Italsimpatia concerns all the people that have an interest and passion for Italy without placing any ethnic constraint, as would be the case with the " Italians descendant" type present all over the world. 
According to the President of Dante Society Andrea Riccardi, Italsimpatia should be seen as a space where Italian becomes a language to get to know each others, to open dialogue boxes and build new bridges. In short, a language of peace to put it in other terms. This notion of Italsimpatia must facilitate the return to the Italian language among people of Italian origins who now have a simpler and more peaceful relationship with the possibility of acquiring the Italian language. According to Riccardi it is necessary to push towards Italian extroversion in order to meet the construction of that "Italian world " outside the national borders to make Italian live as a synonym of taste for things, of art, of knowing how to live, of singing, of fashion, of music opera.

 However, precisely in the 90s, Italian politics went through a long and complex transition, with phenomena of withdrawal, which certainly did not help the setting of our country on the scenarios of the world, indeed they favoured introversion. "

"The teaching of Italian language  and the sympathy for Italy and Italian spirit have suffered and suffer from this introversion. To get out of this introversion with the intent of reaching an extrovert style it will be useful to understand the reasons for the Italian attractiveness. For example, a good example would be to think of that phenomenon called commercial Italianity in which Italian is the second most useful language in the world of commercial advertisement. The use of Italian-related brands involves a business of 50 billion euros. This is clearly the sign of a historical-cultural prestige of the country as claimed by the well-known linguist Luca Serianni. For the concept of Italisampatia the challenge will be to have more Italian brands mixed with Italian language, culture and colours. Only a great development of the teaching of Italian abroad allows to widen the network of sympathy of people towards the Italian things.

The myth of Italy can be understood essentially in transforming objects, life, nature with a touch of beauty. The Italian language and culture are an element perceive abroad as a form of distinction and represent a happy way to combine  history and actuality. This Italsimpatia imagined by the President of the Dante Society Andrea Riccardi must become network between the piece of Italy, material and immaterial, mixing language inside the various activities located all around the world. 
This idea of "Italsimpatia" need to be introduce inside a great Network in order to not behave like meteorites in a context where other European nations invest much more relevant funds. 
We must push in the world, the idea that learning Italian is synonymous with improving one's personal image and the possibility of coming into contact with a unique cultural heritage during your future journey in Italy. In order to became reality, this goal need a strong policy in term of professionalism for the teachers involved in this process of quality and a cultural agenda well setting with appropriate funding.

In this globalized world you can catch new opportunity between people looking for new memberships and good life. The task of Italsympathy must be to offer a colourful cultural space in Italian language, in a not hegemonic, elegant and clear context.
 In this way it will be possible to build these "Italian World" outside the national borders.
