The Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia Rome was opened in 1992 as an official representative body of the Slovene Government to the Republic of Italy. It provides consular assistance and promotes bilateral political, economic and cultural relations between Slovenia and neighboring Italy. The Slovenian Embassy in Rome is also accredited for San Marino, Malta, Tunisia and Libya.

Other diplomatic representatives of the Republic of Slovenia in Italy include Consulate General of the Republic of Slovenia Trst/Trieste and Consulate of the Republic of Slovenia Milano. The Embassy and consulates also represent interests of the relatively large Slovenian minority in Italy.


Cultural cooperation

Film

Slovenian cinematography is frequently represented at the MedFilm Festival, a Rome venue devoted to presentation of the Mediterranean cinema. In 2012 the Embassy in Rome and Slovenian Film Centre were one of the partners of festival’s 18th edition and Slovenia one of the focus countries with films by Metod Pevec (Aleksandrinke [The Alexandrinians]), Jan Cvitkovič (Archeo), Damjan Kozole (Dolge počitnince [The Long Vacations]), Nejc Gazvoda (Izlet [A Trip]), Igor Šterk (9:06), Klemen Dvornik (Kruha in iger [Bread & Circuses]). At the MedFilm 2012 an award for the opus was bestowed to Damjan Kozole who was present at the festival together with Jan Cvitkovič.

In the framework of the FrancoFilm 2013 at Institut français - Centre Saint-Louis in Rome, Slovenia was represented by Nejc Gazvoda’s awarded film Izlet [Trip], a portrait of the so-called lost generation. Film’s trademark is also its soundtrack, composed by the band New Wave Syria.

The presentation of Izbira [Choice], for many an inspiring book, took place at the ECampus University Rome in October 2012, together with the author Renata Salecl (also active at the Institute of Criminology at the University of Ljubljana) whose work was translated into many languages. The edition in Italian was published by publishing house Laterza.

In 2010 Embassy collaborated with Roman Gallery Via Giulia 95 on a conference, where Tadej Pogačar, winner of Rihard Jakopič Award, and his work was presented.

Heritage and education

Embassy promotes Slovene-Italian friendship and the one-year project Campi Fascisti, conducted by researchers from Slovenia, Italy and Germany, who helped to archive the common heritage of concentration camps from the Second World War.

In March 2013 Embassy co-organised programme of the study excursion for students of Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ljubljana. The programme included a visit to Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Italian Society for International Organization (SIOI).

The lectureship of Slovenian Language at the Sapienza University in Rome cooperates with the Embassy on numerous small-scale projects and presentations of Slovene language or culture. In 2012 Days of Slovenian Documentary Film were screened there.
