Building a Business in Rome: 6 Expat Stories | Rome Future Week

Expats Living in Rome presents a special event as part of Rome Future Week:

Building a Business in Rome: 6 Expat Stories

Starting a business in Italy is tough—bureaucracy, taxes, and cultural barriers can feel overwhelming. But many expats have proven it’s possible to turn ideas into thriving businesses in Rome.

Join us for an inspiring evening where expat founders share their stories, challenges, and successes building businesses from the ground up.

Speakers include:

• Patrizia Di Gregorio – Founder of Expats Living in Rome
• Oliver Green – Co-Founder and CMO of Carpe Diem Tours and Create Circus Agency
• Dennis A. Diokno – Founder & CEO of FirstMed Clinics
• Rosangela Mastalia & Brandy Pollock – Co-Founders of AURA Sacred Space
• Richard Greenbury – Founder of Cribmed

After the talks, join us for a Q&A session where you’ll have the chance to engage directly with the founders. The evening will conclude with an aperitif and networking session—an opportunity to connect with fellow expats, aspiring entrepreneurs, and business owners in a casual, social atmosphere.
