Arequipa is the capital of the Arequipa Region in southern Peru. With a population of 1,000,291 it is the second most populous city of the country.
Arequipa lies in the Andes mountains, at an altitude of 2,380 meters (7,800 feet) above sea level; the snow-capped volcano El Misti overlooks the city.
The city has many colonial-era Spanish buildings built of sillar, a pearly white volcanic rock, from which it gets the nickname La Ciudad Blanca ("The White City"). The historic centre of Arequipa was named a UNESCO world heritage site in 2000, in recognition of its architecture and historic integrity.
The Istituto Dante Alighieri has only one objective: to teach and to propagate Italian language and culture throughout the world. Over the years it has become famous for its Italian language courses for foreign students.
