Pregnancy in Turin by Christine

Hi, could you please share advice and tips about pregnancy in Turin? Who are the best gynecologists for pregnancy follow-ups? Which hospitals or clinics would you recommend to give birth in Turin? Thanks a lot in advance for your advice ...

Aperitivo Night ! by isabradi

Ciao to all the expats living in Torino. My name is Isabella and I am Italian. I am looking forward to meet new people and expand my friendship team. I have been living abroad for many years in the past. I finally settled down back home in 2001. I ...

I think it might be best to plan the Aperitivo night well in advance (ie. 2-3 weeks away). That way we all have time to plan ahead. For those of who aren't aware of it: Every Wednesday there is a group that meets up for to practice their language ... Read More

How to make friends in Turin by expat.com

We have been talking about loneliness when you are abroad, let's now talk about how to make friends (locals or expatriates) when you're living in Turin :top: Which are your best tips to meet people and to make friends in Turin?? Thanks in advance ...

Sonia

My advice is to contact anyone through blogs (me!!) and facebook who live in Torino or Piemonte. It's probably the easiest way to get to know people. As far as IWCT (International Women's Club of Torino), Unless you're a woman with nothing to do ... Read More

Do and don't in Italy by expat.com

Are you living in Italy? We need you to share your experience of the local customs :) Is it difficult to adjust to the local customs in Italy? Could you please share with us a list of the do's and don't's in Italy? Thanks!

Sonia

To be honest, it really will just depend on each individual person. I have found that when I speak Italian or French, then apologize for not speaking it well, (because I'm still learning) they are quite friendly and helpful to what I need. At that ... Read More
