Italy diaspora in the Dominican Republic

People from Italy in the Dominican Republic meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.

Communities by city

How many people from Italy live in the Dominican Republic?

According to the United Nations, 4,720 people from Italy live in the Dominican Republic.

In total, 2,920,000 people from Italy live abroad, and about 1% of them live in the Dominican Republic.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Italy in the Dominican Republic

No community for people from Italy exists in the Dominican Republic on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Saint-Domingue, and each one can host its community.

Joining the Italy community in the Dominican Republic

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Italian Republic Day in the Dominican Republic
