About Com.It.Es South Australia

Com.It.Es. is the Comitato degli Italiani all’Estero, the Committee of Italians Abroad. Com.It.ES is legislated by the Italian parliament and responds to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in Italy (MAECI).

Com.It.Es in South Australia (Com.It.Es SA) is the only elected body to represent Italians living in the jurisdiction of South Australia to Italian authorities.

In partnership with the Italian Consulate in Adelaide, and in collaboration with Italian clubs and associations, we celebrate “l’italianità” or Italianness.

Com.It.Es SA cares about diversity and inclusion to continue building a vibrant, productive Italo-South Australian community.

We encourage excellence in Italian language teaching and learning, offering awards and support to students and teachers [hyperlink to list of SACE awards and other awards]. Our committee is engaged in local feste and commemorates the Festa della Liberazione (25 April). We offer advice to Nuovi Arrivati to facilitate their settling in SA, and we collaborate with many community groups on projects and events.
