Italians in Madrid
social security registrations in the Madrid region, September 2025.
Madrid’s Italian community is less visible than Barcelona’s but just as solid: the fourth-largest foreign nationality by social security registration, 6.6% of the total. It clusters less in one neighbourhood and more across offices, universities and kitchens, which makes it hard to find when you have just arrived. There is no obvious place to go on your first weekend.
What you will find here
When roots opens, this community will have its own board for asking anything about the city, a member list for whoever wants to be found, and the week’s plans with limited spots: dinners, language exchanges, nights out. And on the dating side you will be able to filter to see only people from this background, or combine it with whichever others you like.
Where this stands
Straight up: roots has not launched yet and this community is forming right now. There are no members or plans to show you, and we are not going to invent a number. What there is, is a waiting list — and whoever gets one of the first spots gets twelve months of full membership free.
