WHAT I’M ADMINISTERING
Feb. 2018-Present
Italiani in Turchia 🇮🇹💞🇹🇷
Italy-Turkey
The Facebook group "Italiani in Turchia 🇮🇹💞🇹🇷" was born from the idea of connecting Italy to Turkey and vice versa. The basic idea of the group is to make Italians who live in Turkey or who only want to travel within the country feel less alone. I am the administrator, and together with my team, in 2019, we opened a Facebook page; in 2021, an Instagram page; and, in 2023, a website where we publish information about the country through a weekly calendar.
