In early 2009, thanks to introductions by Mr. Liborio Stellino, at that time Consul General of Italy in Boston, a small group of young Italian professionals gathered to create a community for Italian-speaking and Italian professionals in town. The project turned into the leading group for Italians in Boston, which today counts over 1000 members from academia and industry, and sets an example for Italian communities in other US cities which are starting to replicate the project developed in Boston.
PIB favors collaborations with other Italian groups in and out of Boston, and closely partners its activities with the Italian Consulate network and the current General Consul of Italy in Boston, Mr Arnaldo Minuti.
