The Rebirth of the Italian Community

In May 2015 a chain of encounters led a small group of strangers to meet, on and offline, and revive the WordPress Italian Community. After endless hours of chats on Slack, we have regular monthly meetups in half a dozen cities, contributor meetings and at least 3 WordCamps planned for 2016. This is our story and we hope it can be your community’s story too.
