Italy in all its facets
There are already many websites and blogs about Italy, that's right! Italy is simply very popular with Dutch and Flemish people. Yet we still think we can add a few things to the wide range of Italy information and Italy inspiration.
This is Italy offers accessible information and accessible, colorful articles about Italy in all its facets. Never snobbish, but often with a wink and the necessary humor. So don't take all our blogs seriously. We love Italy, but our love for the country never turns into blindness to its less beautiful aspects. Most of the articles we publish are written from a Dutch or Flemish perspective.
In particular, we pay attention to Dutch and Flemish people who live in Italy and who want to share their experiences with us. Please note that the authors of the articles (as listed at the bottom of each article) are solely responsible for the content and accuracy of their contributions. An author's opinion does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the entire editorial team or the brand This is Italy.
We update our fans daily with the latest Italy blogs and other Italy news through our social media channels: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest. We also send a weekly newsletter to more than 5.500 subscribers.
