L'Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Pretoria ha quale obiettivo quello di promuovere e di diffondere la lingua e la cultura italiana
"Present in the main cities of the five continents, the 90 Italian Institutes of Culture are an ideal meeting place for intellectuals, artists and cultural operators, as well as both Italian and foreign citizens, who wish to commence or maintain a rapport with our country.Not only as a taste of Italy and a source of up to date information regarding “Sistema Paese”, but also as a propelling centre of initiatives and cultural activities, the Italian Institute of Culture has become an essential point of reference for Italian collectives abroad and for the growing demand for Italian culture which has been registered throughout the world."
