In a few months the House will also open a small residence (2-3 places) designed to receive professional translators preferably translating from Italian into other languages. With the creation of a specialist documentation and consultation centre, the new House seeks both to provide training for the work of the literary translator and to promote the spread of Italian language and literature throughout the world. Its aim is to become a place of work and research, and to provide a place of meeting and exchange between translators from different countries. The library at the centre also contains a special holding of translations of the works of Elsa Morante and a gallery of portraits of Italian authors by the photographer Rino Bianchi.
