When we asked people about diversity in Italy and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...

"Italy is a diverse nation with a population made up of people from different backgrounds. While the country's core national identity holds strong throughout its many regions, Italy is home to a wide range of ethnicities and religions, each one contributing its own unique cultural traditions. Although the recent influx of migrants to Italy has caused cultural and political tension in some areas, most Italians are tolerant and accepting of differences, making it an inclusive and welcoming place for all," said another expat in Italy.

"I've met people from over 40 countries, all colors and ethnicities under the rainbow," wrote a member who made the move to Fiesole, Italy.
