The DiBagnos arrived in Italy in 1983. They live and serve in Deruta, which is near Perugia. Personal witnessing and literature distribution form their chief ministry. Bible studies are held as well as services, and they opened their church building in February 1995. A majority of the people they have won to the Lord are from countries other than Italy. Not surprisingly, this strongly Catholic country is not quick to accept the Gospel message.

Missionary Frank DiBagno writes, "Though Italy is largely Roman Catholic, it is only Catholic by name." Most Italians are only nominally Catholic, desperately needing good Bible teaching rather than the traditions they have learned.
