Expats Living in Rome is the leading international social network in Rome. Our organization fosters and promotes community interaction amongst expatriates and locals. Our events encourage networking, language and cultural exchange. Online, we serve as an active online forum for information and support to our members.
Expats Living in Rome was founded in 2001 by Patrizia Di Gregorio, an Italian-American, alongside other expats looking to connect. She envisioned forming a circle of friends who could communicate and learn from sharing their experiences of living in Italy. "We were only 7 or 8 people in the beginning, this was before we really had the internet or a smartphone" It has since grown into a strong off and online presence, with a sizeable social media following of over 60k following or joined. She is also a community leader within Facebook's Community Leadership Circles. She devotes her time bringing people together. ( FOLLOW Patrizia on FACEBOOK)
