InterNations - A Place for Italians in Reading

Buongiorno to all Italians in Reading! Would you like to meet fellow Italian expats in Reading? Would you like to get insider suggestions from other Italians, e.g. where in Reading 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 Reading. 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.

Why Italian expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Italian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends

Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
