51ԹϺ- A Place for Italians in Christchurch

Buongiorno to all of our Italians in Christchurch! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Italian expats in Christchurch? Are you looking for advice from other Italians, e.g. which bars in Christchurch will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for minestrone?

You are cordially invited to be part of 51ԹϺChristchurch. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of Italian expats, coming from Rome, Napoli, Milan and all regions of Italy.
