  1. I love Italy, my favorite European country, but I am going to be honest, I would not live there and many other EU countries. The economic contraction because of the stupid Ukraine war, the huge immigration problem, and the awful politics are really diminishing the standards of living in the continent.

  2. Thanks. I've only been to Italy once but I just loved it. Love the people. I'm kinda surprised Sardinia wasn't on the list. I imagine it's a slower pace. I've always been interested in the heart of Europe. Vienna to Budapest.

  3. I signed up for Rosetta Stone for the lifetime membership based on your videos! Thank you so much and I’m looking forward to my years abroad.

  4. I kept waiting for the number one announcement of Lecce. Imagine my surprise when you rolled out Udine 😅 I would have bet my left arm Lecce was on your list somewhere. Thanks, Kristin, but you really should check out Puglia 🙂

  5. OMG did I contact or message months ago saying hey "do something on Italy…" so excited to watch this! Italy is a bit of a diva with it's bureaucracy. I'm training my patience skills already. ITS' NORMAL to understand more than you can speak on the language learning journey! Active vs passive knowledge.

  6. Im not surprised Udine is #1. My family is from Sequals, 35 minutes away. The Friuli region is very underrated. I will be retiring in Sequals in about 8-10 years. You also have San Daniele Del Friuli right there where the best prosciutto in the world comes from

  7. Love the quality and abundant information you provide in these videos. Thank you. We will be contacting you when we're ready to move to Portugal. (maybe Italy, since I lived close to Napoli for 13 years.

  8. Maybe cause my bad English I didn't understand well, how does a person live in Rome on $1,000? Also includes house rent, utility bills, food? Probably even if you go to live very far from the city center you can't make it (of course, let's not talk then about have a car or getting out 1-2 times a week).
    Sorry, I don't want to make issues, I'd just like to understand, what I missed?

    PS I'm Roman and I live in Rome.

  9. One possible downside ; most Rentals require a four year Lease ( from what I've heard ) a 3 mo. deposit and you must have residency . if you go on a Tourist Visa you can only stay for 90 days then leave for 90 days . a bit complicated , imo . otherwise it sounds wonderful and very affordable . Thank you Kristin .

  10. Great segment on Italy, Kristin. Glad you featured Verona. I lived there with my girlfriend(from Verona) off and on for 2 years and it is an ideal city for living, working and playing, and nicely located for weekend getaways to other nearby locales.

    Benevenuto a Miami ancora – after your last few years abroad.

    Buona Fortuna! Ciao Ciao!

  11. take a car and make a circle over whole Italy, including Sicily and Sardinia, and you will definitely find your place

    ranking in the video is not comprehensive, also some locations like Positano can be absolutely empty outside the summer season (all is closed)

  12. Thanks, Kristine! The best places in Italy are small towns well connected with big cities. You can find lovely, affordable accommodation, excellent and authentic food, stunning views, and fewer tourists. Treviso, in the Veneto region, is one example. In the Friuli region, as you mentioned, you can appreciate San Daniele, Cormons, Cividale, Grado… Italy is rich in incredible places close to each other.

  13. Who else NEEDS a cappuccino and a moment after watching this video?! Oh my.
    I think heaven must look just like Italy. I am willing to do sinful things to get back there.

  14. Hi Kristin, I live nearby Florence a place where you can find art, history, countryside, seaside and mountains you can easily reach. There are several things to do! Of course we cannot compare it with big capitals but Florence is quite a vibrant international city and Tuscany is beautiful 🙂 I like your channel, thanks for sharing your insights 👏

  15. Trieste, 12:55: I think notable is the fact that this was for centuries the main port of the Austrian-Hungarian empire, and that history is a legacy of this city, very much present today. This makes Triest a truly unique place, and I wish you would have mentioned that.

  16. Umbria might be the best, the south is a little too rustic, the north is not really much different than the west, or Tuscany, Le Marche.

  17. coffee is NOT cultivated in Italy. Trieste is the connection between Italian and Viennise coffee culture

  18. I am a student from India who wanted to study in another country for citizenship.
    In the future I wanted to become an Investor ( Stocks, Currency, Real estate, Business).but didn't want to give 50% in taxes. Which countries are suitable for me ?

  19. Wow! I love Italy so much! It's a country with so beautiful landscape! Though language is an issue, we can communicate through language translator as a temporary solution. But learning Italian is so important in the long run if thinking of a permanent settlement. Florence and Rome are two of my favorite places.! Though each town has something to offer for everyone.! And Kristin..you're looking ravishingly beautiful.!👌

  20. Kristin, thanks for this helpful guide. I hate to bring it up, but the final quick fact sheet on Verona has some errors on the top bullet point items. It looks like you may not have updated your points from the Rome slide. Nevertheless, I gained a lot of helpful information from your video. Thank you, again.
