The Italian WordPress community has been active and vibrant since the dawn of the global WordPress community itself, and counts high-impact volunteers contributing to Polyglots, Support, Community, Development, Diversity, Learn, OpenVerse, WPTV, both locally and internationally.

Historically, the Italian community has been one of the most impactful communities in the whole of Europe, and the Torino community is the pillar of it. Since 2015, WordPress Meetup Torino has organized 80 events: not even Covid-19 has stopped us! In the uncertain times where a global pandemic has almost erased many communities, Torino switched to online Meetups in April 2020 and never missed a chance to bring the community together. In January 2022, they were the first to come back to in-person events and motivated the Italian community to follow their example.

In 2022, the percentage of in-person Meetups VS online Meetups in Italy increased by 160% compared to 2021.
