This paper discussed the Italian language and culture in the territory of Labin, in particular Italian culture in Croatian schools. No matter the same area in which live the residents whose mother tongue is Italian, classes and regular programs in the Italian language are not held in any school. However, after the closure of the Italian school in 1953, the City of Labin has formed a program in Italian language in kindergarten "Pierina Verbanac" at the old town - Labin which today attend around twenty preschool children. Also, the Italian Union - Italian Community "Giuseppina Martinuzzi" Labin invests huge enthusiasm for the establishment of schools and regular programs in Italian. In Croatian schools in and around the area of Labin Italian is introduced as an optional foreign language, with the initiative of the Italian Union of Labin were realized cultural exchanges and twinning with Italian cities Manzano and Buccino. Such twinning gives rich experience to the elementary school "Matija Vlačić" and high school "Mate Blažine", and therefore we can say that the Italian culture still lives on the territory where the Croatian language is primary and official.
