With over 200,000 American expatriates living in Italy as well as many Canadian, British and Australians you will easily find many opportunities to meet and network with fellow English speakers that can help ease your transition into Italian life. If you take an Italian language class, attend religious services in English or stop by a place like the Anglo American Bookshop on Via della Vite in Rome you will discover numerous activities held by various expat groups.
Throughout the year the US Embassy sponsors lectures and cultural events as well as social activities on or around US National holidays when one may experience pangs of homesickness. It is a good idea to let the Embassy know how to reach you or check the website on a regular basis.

English Language Bookstores
Popular meeting spots for the English speaking communities, bookshops often host readings, discussions, small concerts and even creative writing classes. You may find bulletin boards with postings for those seeking work, roommates, accommodations, and tutoring in English or Italian. They are terrific places to meet other English speakers and Italians eager to improve their English.
