The U.S. Mission to Italy
-
The United States Mission in Italy comprises the American Embassy in Rome and the Consulates General in Milan, Florence, and Naples.
The many agencies of the United States
Government that constitute the Mission work as a team to advance
American interests and promote relations between the American and
Italian government and people. They shape and carry out American
relations with Italy, have an active public diplomacy program, provide consular services to American citizens and visa services
to citizens of Italy and other countries who wish to visit or who
qualify to immigrate to the United States, and promote trade and
investment between our two countries.
They work with Italian
counterparts to protect shared political, economic, and security
interests through multilateral organizations including NATO, the United
Nations, and a host of other important bodies.
Officials of the Department of State
oversee traditional diplomacy and provide consular services in Rome,
Milan, Florence, and Naples. Commerce Department
representatives are available to American exporters who wish to
increase their activity in the Italian market, and officials of the Department of Agriculture
at the Embassy in Rome offer similar services to their clients.
The
Offices of Public Affairs welcome public and press inquiries about every
aspect of the United States and work to foster mutual understanding
through exchanges of persons and ideas and by administering educational
and cultural programs. The Information Resource Center in Rome provides reference and documentation services, using printed and electronic sources.
