Italica was set up in 1996 under the auspices of RAI International for the purpose of promoting a knowledge and awareness of Italian language and culture over the Internet and providing users with a forum and a means for communicating.
Italica is a RAI International website devoted to Italian language and culture.
The Italian language course, designed by DIDAEL S.P.A., consists of 72 lessons divided into three levels, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
The lessons are organised according to Units, Functions or Rooms. The course is available in 5 languages: English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
Three sections of the site are devoted to Italian culture. Agenda is a daily listing of the most important Italian cultural events taking place in Italy and in the rest of the world.
Surfing is a monthly column dedicated to Italian websites. Topics provides a detailed look at Italian culture in the company of leading figures from the academic world both in Italy and abroad.

Visitors can communicate with our editorial staff by means of the Newsletter, the dedicated forums and the features entitled Tell a friend and Feedback.
