ABOUT:
Hi! I’m Valeria — a writer, content creator, and the visionary behind Dramatically Expatic. With a background in TV, where I hosted my own program (think a bit more formal than my current YouTube adventures), I now thrive on the dynamic and creative freedom of the web. As an expat in Italy for eight years and counting, I hold a BA in Theatre and Film Studies and an MSc in Media Organisation from the University of Bologna. I have always had a huge passion for discovering new places, having traveled all around the world since I was a child, so there were no second thoughts when searching for my niche. Here I share my best advice on visiting Italy, budget travel tips to Italy, and all things living in Italy entails!

Yeah, rent speculation is strong in this last couple of years.
London triggered this plague in Europe?
Success for your channel! From Brazil!
Hey! Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏
I've been considering moving to Bologna. Do you have some sort of neighbourhood guide of the city?
I was born and raised in Italy, but I've been living in the UK for the last 11 years and I've never had to deal with bills, rent, etc. when I was still back home as I was only 16 when I left.
I've been wanting to move back to Italy for a while now (Vicenza), and this video really helped me understand what to expect if and when I decide to make the move, thank you so so much! 💕
Hello, can you recommend any tax services for expats in Italy? They could be in Bologna if that's easier. I am a retired teacher planning on moving to Italy and have looked on line for tax advice, but they have all been big corporations that cater to professionals and business people. My situation is very simple so I wuld like to find a local tax service for foreigners in Italy .Mille grazie
Could you have given a range of utility costs? For example, how big is your place and what do you pay?
👍👍👍❤
Hey i like your channel, i'm from Ethiopia i will move to Rome after 5 months to study my masters degree can you do a video about Rome or can you answer my questions here. The average rent coast? can i get a part time job without speaking Italian?
Hey there, I will be studying interpreting in University of Bologna this year and my campus is located at Forli. If you're aware, how much does a ticket to Forli/back to Bologna costs? Since I will be going there on a daily basis I just wanted to know if it's going to be a major money problem or not
very helpful and useful video, thanks for posting
Can you please tell me per month the living expenses in Bolzano
Please I want to buy one euro property I live in UK how can you help thanks
Thank you so much for your information.
I just want to explain as Dutch citizen living and investing in Turkey my daughter was charged at Medipol University in Istanbul US$ 38.700 for 1 year at the faculty of medicine. After we did more research we decided to move to Italy to invest in the same business we did before and Thanks God it save us a lot of money! Because in Chieti University we are paying 12 times less. And this means for us a huge amount that we can use for our living expences, vacation etc. Thanks a lot for your good and clear information because it is very useful and especially for the students from other countries and for their parents as well.
I moved to Italy (Florence) in 1989, and everything you say about the huge rise in the cost of living is true. Brava!! We just had an electricity bill for the past two months, and it was almost €600. These were summer months, though (37ºC), and the big culprit was/is air conditioning—mind you, we make sure to minimize our use of it. More usually, the electicity bill is around €200 for two months. Gas is about €55 every two months.
We shop at the nearby food market for fresh meats & vegetables, but have a twice-monthly delivery of staples (eggs, milk, cleaning stuff, fish, some chicken … etc.) from a supermarket chain—each delivery costs about €300 (there are two of us and a dog).
All in all, it costs about €3500 a month to live here. That said, we don't go out much: neither of us drink anymore, and we don't go on holidays, nor do we go to restaurants (although we order-in about twice a week). I'm 77, and my wife is ten years younger.
Thank you, Valeria, for making videos like this one: they are extremely useful and important.
Thanks for sharing!
Wait till you hear about the prices in Toronto
Is Genoa a similar situation to Bologna?
VERY GOOD analysis we need more
