In 2001 The United Nations recognized the Florence Biennale as an official partner in the program "Dialogue Among Nations". The steadily increasing number of participating artists demonstrates how this program has found voice within the structure of the Florence Biennale. In 2003, 890 artists from 72 nations, despite their differences of language and faith, found a common language in art to communicate their cultural values, illustrating Kofi Annan's statement.
