Buongiorno to all Italians in Brussels! Would you like to meet fellow Italian expats in Brussels? Would you like to get insider suggestions from other Italians, e.g. where in Brussels your hometown team’s next match is shown on TV or where to get minestrone?

We would like to invite you to become a member of InterNations Brussels. As a member of InterNations, you will have access to an active group of Italian expats, hailing from Rome, Napoli, Milan and all regions of Italy.
