To meet old friends again.
Contexto cultural
The 'Cena di Classe' is a sacred ritual. Even 40 years after graduation, Italians will organize a dinner to see their old classmates. The film 'Compagni di scuola' by Carlo Verdone is the definitive cultural reference for this phrase. Facebook groups are the primary tool for organizing these events in Italy, often named 'Quelli della sezione B...' In the South, a rimpatriata often involves an enormous amount of food prepared at someone's home rather than a restaurant.
Always use 'Bella'
While 'fare una rimpatriata' is correct, adding 'bella' makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Not for two people
If you are just meeting one friend, use 'vedersi' or 'trovarsi'. 'Rimpatriata' needs a group.
