The '''Chiesa Ortodossa in Italia''' ("Orthodox Church in Italy") is an effort to establish a national Orthodox church in Italy. It was originally a part of the [[Holy Synod in Resistance]], but then joined Patriarch Pimen's Alternative Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and adopted the [[Revised Julian Calendar]]. It is currently out of communion with the mainstream Orthodox Church.
It is not to be confused with the [[Archdiocese of Italy and Malta|Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Italy]], the primary presence of mainstream Orthodoxy in Italy.
