The Slovak Institute takes care of contacts with the associations of compatriots in Italy (Turin, Milan, Naples) in order to keep alive the cultural relations of the Slovak community with the homeland. The Slovak library and film library are available to our visitors in the spaces of the Slovak Institute. A fundamental role of our activity is the collaboration with the Honorary Consulates of the Slovak Republic in Italy (Milan, Trieste, Turin, Florence, Forli, Naples and Malta).
