Would you like to get in touch with other Canadians in Italy? Are you in need of help and advice from your Canadian compatriots? Or would you like to join other Canadian expats on an excursion to discover sights and landmarks – e.g. hot and dry Apulia, full of ancient footsteps left by Greek, Arab, and Norman settlers?

Whether you have settled as an expat in Italy or are still living in Canada and planning your upcoming foreign assignment, InterNations Italy offers everything you need: Established in 2007, our trusted community soon became the leading platform for international networking among expatriates and global minds around the world.
