The Dante Alighieri Society (DAS) of Washington is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation licensed by the State of Washington and operating in the City of Seattle. Additionally we are recognized as an official chapter of the Società Dante Alighieri, a non-profit organization (ONLUS) with chapters all over the world and headquartered in Rome, Italy.
Our mission, in harmony with the principles of the Società Dante Alighieri, is to promote Italian culture and language within the state of Washington and around the world. Language, art, food, wine, friendship, fashion, elegant design and history are a large part of this culture. We gather together regularly to share food and enjoy presentations on the many aspects of the Italian culture.
