News, Events, Happenings, Interesting Articles
The Dante Alighieri Society of Washington is exploring new ways to stay in contact with its members. For more than 30 years we have published a newsletter, La Voce della Dante, nine times a year with articles contributed by members. We welcome information about Italian related events in the greater Seattle area. Contact us at info@danteseattle.org with your suggestions and articles.
We are on YouTube!
Check out our new YouTube Channel. We will be uploading recordings of some of our presentations in the coming months as we continue to adapt to changing circumstances.
