In addition to the Dante of Johannesburg, the Dante Alighieri Society is present in South Africa in Cape Town, Durban and Pietermaritzburg, who will attend the meeting each with their own representative. The presence of Dr. Alessandro Masi at the celebration of the important anniversary aims to ideally pay omage to all the South African Committees, who with their commitment and their commendable work promote Italian language and culture.
