Membership

The Società Dante Alighieri – La Dante – was founded in 1889 and, in 1893, was established in Rome by the Royal Decree of King Umberto I di Savoia to preserve and promote the Italian language and the wealth of cultural and social contributions of Italy to Western civilization. 

The Society was named in honor of the father of the Italian language, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), by a group of prominent Italians under the leadership of the great poet Giosuè Carducci.
Since its foundation, the Società has established 500 chapters (Comitati) in Italy and worldwide. Over the years, La Dante has become an international organization, presenting the arts, science, and literature and contemporary Italy’s political, social, and economic life within the global context.

The Michigan Chapter of the Società Dante Alighieri is a nonprofit Michigan organization managed entirely by volunteers. Founded in 1924, our diverse membership reflects all nationalities, vocations, and ages. Although we may belong to different age groups, national origins, and interests, we all share our love for Italy and Italian culture.
