Since 1978, our Association has been carrying out a voluntary activity in favour of the Ministry’s employees and their families. It is open to all employees’ spouses of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in service and in retirement, as well as to the employees of other Administrations of the State during the period in which these are on duty abroad. Its status of non-profit association was registered in 1979 and a ministerial decree – signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Lamberto Dini in 1997 – includes it in the Ministry’s social services, recognizing its value.
