Italy–Sweden relations refers to the bilateral relationship between Italy and Sweden.

The Ostrogoths, originating from the Goths from the current Swedish region of Götaland, were strongly linked, along with the Visigoths, to the fall of the Western Roman Empire and replacing it with the Ostrogothic Kingdom. But, unlike the Visigothic Kingdom, was defeated in a short time by the Byzantine Empire.[1]

When Italy bombed the Swedish ambulance in Abyssinia in December 1935, protests began.[2]

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.[3] Since the late 1940s, many Swedish soccer players have been successful in Italian club teams.
