Australians in Italy consist of Australian individuals who travel to Italy on a permanent or/and temporary basis.[2] There were over 30,000 Australians in Italy as of 2002,[3] including dual citizens (Italian Australians). Approximately two-thirds are settled in Rome while the rest are mainly in Milan. Australian expatriates in Italy over the age of 15 account for 5.9% (172,000) of all Australian expatriates, in comparison to the United Kingdom accounting for 33.4% (969,000) within 1999–2003. 12.6% of these individuals entered Italy with a tertiary education.[4] Australian tourism within Italy accounted for 1.3% of total tourism within Italy, and staying on average 10.5 nights within 2018. Australian tourists stay longer on average in Italy than other tourists visiting for non-UE countries.[5] Australia and Italy have a bilateral relationship regarding trade developments such as agreements surrounding free trade, partnership in building security measures, and international relation schemes such as Brexit.[6] Australia has various other agreements with Italy including a working holiday visa, defence industry cooperation, and economic and commercial cooperation agreements.[6] Australia has two embassies in Italy, one in Rome and the other in Milan.[6] These bodies manage public diplomacy and collaborate with Australian companies such as 'Screen Australia' to produce films within the Italian landscape.[6]

Italian Australians, Dual citizens, Australian expatriates, Australian International students, Roman Catholic priests, Australian tourists are amongst many other Australian individuals who travel to Italy. The COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2021) has made it difficult for Australians to travel to Italy including an international travel ban, and limited flight carriers operating.[7] A minority of Australian Italian individuals have migrated back to Italy to be re-assimilated into their cultural heritage.[8] Australian Italians also travel back to Italy short term to visit relatives and friends.[9] Australian tourists and International students travel to Italy to study or observe the historical sites.[10][8] Australian Roman Catholic priests and other religious leaders travel to Italy for meetings with Vatican officials such as the Vatican II meeting, or for other Religious vocation such as study.[11]
