Ambasciata d'Italia - Dar Es Salaam

The Week of the Italian Cuisine 2019

Italy will be highly represented during the second edition of the major tourism fair in the archipelago (26-28 September) with hotels, resorts, and investors. According to official statistics, Italian tourists in Zanzibar were the largest national group in 2018 (55,755 visitors or a share of 10.7% out of 520,809) and in the first four months of 2019, the share has increased a little to 14.3% or 21,426 visitors. Zanzibar is the only Tanzanian destination directly linked with airports in Milan and Rome.

The Ambassador visited the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute in Dar es Salaam.

On 26 September, the Ambassador visited the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute in Dar es Salaam, a public center for the treatment of heart diseases, on the occasion of the medical mission organized by the American NGO Mending Kids and the "Bambin Gesù" of Rome. A touching visit shows the importance of international cooperation. For over six years the Italian medical staff, led by dr. Salvatore Agati, comes regularly to Tanzania forging valuable health relationships, which strengthens the capacity of both countries to intervene and save lives. The JKCI has become, in the few years of its existence, a point of reference in the country, demonstrated by the low mortality rate and the growth of surgical operations, even with an open heart. The Ambassador thanked the Tanzanian government for its efforts to improve public health and all the Italian and foreign doctors and nurses present.

Italian Movies Festival

Another year, another movies festival. For the third year, the Embassies of Italy and Switzerland will host a selection of Italian movies, three from Italy and one from Switzerland, where Italian is an official language, being spoken in the Ticino canton. Drama, documentary, comedy, and politics. We believe we have found the right balance to introduce you to the language and culture of our countries. We will start with a treasure hunt, a comedy named “The Chair of Happiness”, on Thursday 10 October, at 7 pm, at Goethe Institute, followed by three more Thursday nights until 31 October. The festival is part of the XIX Week of the Italian Language in the World, an event promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation every year in the third week of October. The entire diplomatic and cultural network will produce events, shows, courses to promote the study and use of Italian.
