Hi!
I probably not really qualify as British expat, as I am Italian who lived in the UK for over 10 years (Manchester, Cardiff and Cambridge) and recently have come back to Bergamo, but hope to keep interacting with British people out here, and maybe help out on few questions, but I have one for you:
are there cricket teams in Italy? I've played rugby and baseball when I was young but never came across cricket here. I also imagine with more people from the Commonwealth emigrating in Italy there might be something? Does anyone know if there are expat teams around Milan/Bergamo/Como area. Would be great to see it play. Cheers

They do in Verona, but they are Indian/Sri Lankan etc. Look up Crickitalia.

Hello and thanks!
I have looked at the website and I found there is a team in Bergamo province, on the East not far from Lake Iseo. Also a couple of clubs in Brescia, and four in Milan. I'll definitely go and watch.
For those interested there are addresses of all Italian clubs:

Euratom at Ispra used to have one. I don't know if they still do.

There's a cricket club at Piazza Vittorio in Rome mostly made up of Bangladeshis. They teach cricket after school at my daughter's new school for next year.
