Welcome - Benvenuto!

The Public Affairs Section handles all aspects of press and cultural relations for the United States Embassy in Rome, and for the U.S. consulates in Milan, Florence, and Naples. It also has an office in Palermo.

The Section works to strengthen and develop U.S.-Italian relations by:

• Enunciating and explaining U.S. policies, while presenting American society in all its complexity so that others can gain a better comprehension of the United States.
• Creating, promoting and administering educational and cultural exchange programs which improve relations and increase understanding between the people of Italy and the United States.
