Easy Milano | Expat Community

Easy Milano, a pioneer in Milan’s free press industry in early 2000, was the first publication both in print and online focusing on the English speaking community. For nearly 18 years, Easy Milano published and distributed its magazine every two weeks at over 150 target locations in Milan and the hinterland.

Partnering with institutions and associations, including the many English-speaking consulates, embassies, chambers, and trade offices in Italy, Easy Milano quickly became the reference point for English speaking expats and international Italians.

Spanning nearly two decades, Easy Milano distributed over 3 million printed copies and published over 100,000 classified ads connecting businesses, groups, and individuals to its 35,000 monthly readers.

Over many occasions, Easy Milano brought the community together through its events, including the official U.S. Election Night events with the U.S. Consulate General, the annual July 4th Independence Day celebrations, community Thanksgiving dinners and the creation of the first American Festival in Italy during Expo2015.

At the end of December 2017, Easy Milano founders Amie Louie and Aaron Pugliesi released its last printed edition and went exclusively online. Aaron is currently the Secretary General and CEO of The British Chamber of Commerce for Italy. Amie works as Director of Development in the philanthropy and fundraising sector.

Easy Milano’s mission of promoting intercultural exchange remains and giving readers a modern tool to overcome difficulties and share the joys of living in a foreign country.
