Underlining the importance of the diffusion of Italian books throughout the world to promote Italian culture, Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched a call for initiatives that contribute to the diffusion of Italian books abroad. Among the subventions of the ministry are translation grants to international publishers who publish Italian-language works of contemporary literature, literature for children and young people, important academic titles, and non-fiction works.

The deadline for applications is 31 March 2015.
