Perugia, University for Foreigners of Siena, Rome Tre University and the Dante Alighieri Society) as well as University
for Foreigners “Dante Alighieri” of Reggio Calabria, including agreements with Italian Institutes of Culture abroad or other
institutions. These certifications may be earned in the country of origin, in the approved exam centres found all over the
world."
