Milan Networking

How close-knit is the expat community in this area? How do I get involved with it?
Some communities are very close-knit; for example, the French community or the American community. An expat can get involved in these expat organizations by attending their luncheons or events, including some that celebrate each country's national holidays. Other good networking venues are English-speaking churches. Events are often advertised in the English-language newspapers like
Easy Milano. Local consulates or embassies can also provide information about these groups.
