The Italian student community lives here and engages with itself and a completely new world. Many of us have learned to live in a different culture, sometimes maintaining the traditions of Italian daily life, others embracing those of Russian culture.

There are those who are studying and have just arrived, those who juggle study and work, and those who, after completing their studies, have decided to stay, to enjoy the city and a well-rounded experience of this country.

The students learn that St. Petersburg is not only a gateway to Russian culture, but also to the cultures of all of Asia, both those countries that were historically part of the Soviet Union, and those in the East, Africa, and the Americas.
