MAECI grants and awards for translation
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation promotes the diffusion of Italian editorial and cinematographic works abroad by providing incentives for translation and dubbing/subtitling, which represent a strategic tool for the promotion of the Italian language and culture abroad.
The Ministry provides two types of financial incentives:
- Contribution to the translation of an Italian work abroad that has not yet been published and for the production, dubbing and subtitling of short and feature films and television series;
- Award for an Italian work already translated abroad.
Applications must be submitted annually to the Italian Cultural Institutes and to the Italian diplomatic and consular representations abroad, according to the procedures established by the Call. The deadline for submitting applications for the 2025 edition is set for April 7, 2025.
