Italy–Sweden relations

Italian–Swedish relations

Italy
Sweden

Italy and Sweden have maintained bilateral relations since the 19th century. Italy has an embassy in Stockholm and Sweden has one in Rome; both countries also have several consulates.

When Italy bombed the Swedish ambulance in Abyssinia in December 1935, protests began.

Today (as of 2012) the ties can be described as strong, especially because of Italian immigrants settling in Sweden after World War II while an increasing number of Swedish charter tourists began to travel to Italy. Since the late 1940s, many Swedish soccer players have been successful in Italian club teams. Both countries are full members of Council of Europe, NATO and European Union.
