  1. My County is becoming a cheap version of Hollywood!!!
    Too many tourists moving here.
    The “ Italian soul “ and lifestyle eaten and destroyed by ordes of barbarians not willing to integrate but simply exporting their way of doing.
    People eating not knowing how to use properly knives and forks
    Feet on the tables everywhere
    Loud crowds not giving a damn about the others
    Pretentiousness and rudeness
    Use of fingers to call people
    Food quality lowers and prices raised…
    Housing prices destroyed
    Social amplifying the problem depicting a Paradise that it doesn’t exist anylonger being destroyed by people who are actually the responsible for that.
    Areas of cities once typical and historic litterally transformed in a sort of Las Vegas reproduction of what once we were: only foreigners and we runned away.
    Pls no more!!!

  2. Nice site! I just subscribed! I am solo and probably prefer smaller cities or towns. I was considering retiring in Europe (Italy, Spain, or Portugal) but then COVID happened. I instead retired in Guanajuato, Mexico! Now I am more likely to slow travel alternating between the Schengen and non-Schengen countries than to go through the effort of obtaining visas and moving there.

  3. Help you make this simple. If you don’t have passive income, get a student visa for a year, by law, a student visa allows you to work 20 hours a week. A student visa can also be changed into a work visa at any point in time. Done…

  4. I have a family of 4, I work from home, what type of visa would I need for a 12-24 month stay in Italy? I make 85k a year.

  5. I'm currently waiting for my dual citizenship by decent to finalize (U.S- Italy) I've narrowed down my move for a place to purchase/rent in Puglia. Do you have any specific videos on that region? I'd would also like to ask if you have a breakdown on living expenses for Puglia.

  6. I’m in the middle of organizing to move to Sardegna. I still need to figure out to what city I want to move to. I’m so excited! 🇮🇹

  7. No wine costs less than water in italy. A good wine on average doesn't costs less than 5 or 6 euros! Below this prices it's not wine but petrol!!😂
    Let's not talk nonsense!

  8. I'm a disabled veteran thay will be paid for life. I am considering Italy. Thanks for this video.

  9. My grandmother was born in Sicily…exactly which paperwork/documents do I need?

  10. My friend, you mentioned one would need $5k for an individual and 10k for a family to live on per month? Is that right. I am baffled with these numbers as I have heard quite the opposite of how folks live in Italy. Maybe in Rome, Lake Como, Genoa, Brescia or Milan that is true but there are a lot of regions that a "family" could live for less than $5k. I am sure others that actually live there as well are NOT lying about this. If I can live in the the US for a family of 4 on ~ 6k then Italy could work for us. We don't skimp as a family either:) Please enlighten me if I'm wrong here. I am really interested in this topic. Thank you and I subscribed.

  11. Don't get me wrong but …I wonder if you've ever lived and worked in Italy. How can you recommend Palermo? A city where mafia reigns since the mid XIX century, the city in a region with the highest rate of emigration of the entire Europe, with an unemployment rate of more than 20%, where the number of tax evaders is high, where few residents speak English, with one o the worst education systems of the entire Western world (OCSE) and a city that out of 107 Italian provinces ranks…
    #99 for "free time and tourism"
    #85 for "social security"
    #98 for "wealth"
    #102 for "business and job opportunities"
    #102 for "environment"
    #105 for "education"

    Do you really think that pasta, gelato and limoncello are among the top importat reasons to move to a new country?
    Ok: let's say you simply want to have fun and that you simply needs click. Ok: but I've listened a vast array of bulls*** starting from "wine can be cheaper than water". Are you serious? What kind of wine have you purchased?
    American folks: if you need info on Italy, ask to Italians.
    By the way: you've used a music which is a stereotype for Americans like you. I'ts not an Italian music or it's played just for muppets from American who pretend to be in a Disney movie. C'mon…read, travel, try, study, grow and open your eyes. With no offense

  12. Thi video should be censored. What an idea to help people moving here…we no want more foreigners pleeaase..😂

  13. Genova is great – too bad, though, about the autostrada running right in front of the elegant palazzi on the coast,

  14. You mentioned moving with pets. But how is that done? I have a 35lbs poodle I would like to take with me.

  15. Bonjourno.
    Excellent videos. We keep looking at both France and Italy. But Italians always make our hearts smile. We just sold our home in Portland and moved in with our daughter and grandchildren. Now we must decide our future. In February we will visit Italy to see if it is it for us. We prefer the 7% regions, but having access to services and the train is a must.

    Grazie!
