DESCRIPTION
Final paper at SEC (Venice, 2011)
Citation preview
'Horizontal' approachto promotion of national culture abroad (Russia-
Italy case)
100 events, 32 Russian towns, 50 Italian institutions participating in
Russian-Italian year
How do they interact?
Hierarchy (state level)
Horizontal interaction of different
social actors
Some of cultural events held
during this year
Some good examples: ENIT exhibition of Italian tourism in
Russia, 'Italia comes to you initiative', poetry in the
underground of Rome and Moscow, presentation of Russian books, theatres, films in Italy and
vice versa
But the Italian-Russian students' forum in Rome (La Sapienza) was
a total failure because it was organized by governement
officials, not students
Conclusion: 'hand of the state' is necessary to launch any cultural initiative but more
organizations and other social actors should get involved into
a process of the country's promotion abroad
