Compared to other larger, much older, and impersonal Meetup groups with 2,000+ Members where you may be treated as a "NUMBER" and have to PAY to learn and practice a language, we are an intelligent and VERY friendly assembly of cosmopolitan people enjoying relatively MORE INTIMATE, exciting, and conducive to new friendships FREE Italian events.
