FriendsInRome is the great new way to make friends in Rome!


FriendsInRome is the leading international social group in Rome that organizes many social and cultural events with the aim of encouraging interaction between Italians and foreigners who visit or live in Rome. It all starts online and then moves into the real world.

How it all began?

Italian childhood friends Francesco Grisafi and Simone Buonamico driven by their curiosity about foreign cultures began to meet some expats in Rome to practice other languages and drink a glass of wine after work. Their enthusiasm grew from there and so soon after they come about the idea to share their love of their fantastic city with a wider international community..... and so in January 2008 FriendsInRome was born!

Who participates in FriendsInRome?

Today FriendsInRome has grown to become a well-known social, cultural and networking organisation in Rome. With over 10.000 registered users and through its many social and cultural organised events it has fostered a greater socialization between Italians and foreigners.

FriendsInRome is truly an international affair welcoming all nationalities in Rome to join in. Although many people who regular participate in FriendsInRome are European and North Americans interest from people from South America and Africa has been steadily growing. The majority are from the 25 - 40 age groups but it's quite normal to see people ranging from 20 to 50 getting on famously at FriendsInRome events.

Many of the people who attend events are in Rome to study or to work in multi-national companies, embassies, institutions, international organizations like FAO, WFP and language schools.

    How it works


    How to make new International friends in Rome

    Rome is one of the most fascinating cities in the world but socialising in Rome can be very hard at times, especially for foreigners that have just arrived, so we've made it easy to make friends in Rome with an international crowd.

    First of all you can join our wonderfully multi-cultural events, a place where Italians and people from all nationalities come together to share their experiences in interesting, fun and social gatherings. Part of the FriendsInRome philosophy, that underlies events, is the facilitating of new friendships and opportunities for people to share their different cultural experiences in a very relaxed and informal environment.

    Examples of FriendsInRome cultural and social events:

    • INT'L KEEP'nTOUCH: Aperitivi in some of the nicest locales in Rome where you can socialize and relax after a long day at work or studying.
    • Walking Tour: Guided Tours exploring the best that the city has to offer from the famous and historical to the little known hidden gems.
    • FriendsInArt: Art exhibitions by leading Italian and international artists.
    • CineFriends: Enjoy screenings of some of the best classic Italian films.
    • ItaliansCookItBetter: A fun and great way to meet new people and learn to cook authentic Italian dishes.

    The FriendsInRome website is a great place to start. It has lots of interesting and useful information about Rome and Roman culture and also acts as a great place for people to post ads and interact on the forums. Whether it’s language exchange, jobs, housing, classes or just socialising or chatting about things you like the FriendsInRome website is ideal for your needs. You can also organise your own "Going Out" by posting a message with your event idea.
