The Franco-Italian relationship is characterized by an agreed celebration of the love that the two countries have for each other. The two countries are united in their desire to find a solution to the problem of immigration from the Middle East to Europe.
The issue of immigration has been a source of tension between the two nations since the Second World War, when they were at the height of their respective powers. The relationship between France and Italy has been strained in recent years, particularly since the rise of the Islamic State.
