If you’re serious about moving to Italy or retiring in Italy, this is the video nobody else is making. Everyone talks about the dream — the wine, the piazzas, the slow mornings. Almost nobody talks honestly about healthcare in Italy as you actually get older, or what real, long-term care costs compared to the US.
In this video: how healthcare in Italy actually works — registration, your GP, specialists, and what happens the day something goes wrong. What home care and assisted living really cost, compared directly to US prices. Private health insurance in Italy — what it covers, what it costs, and whether it’s worth it at different ages. How this fits into your overall cost of living in Italy. Plus your will, Italy’s living will law, the Medicare question almost nobody gets right, and the family conversation most people put off far too long.
No scare tactics. No false reassurance either — just the real numbers, checked against official Italian and US sources.

Great and honest video. I experienced what you discussed over the past year, my dad's remaining sibling lived in Emilia Romagna, didn't trust many people (and some of the wrong ones). She died the day after her 102 birthday. I had a lot to do. And am thinking of moving to Italy, currently in the UK, have I citizenship. Costs are important to know, health care as well. And knowing that wills are valid. Like I said, very good information.
Thank you an excellent video exactly the sort of questions i have been talking about with my family. I am not in the USA , like maybe a lot of your listeners but am planning a move to Italy next year.
Thank You y Gracias 🙏 wonderful information. I’m Canadian senior planning to move atleast part time.
This is the absolutely most important info about moving to Italy. Thanks so much! If I move to Italy, I plan to keep paying Medicare and the Supplement. That's a choice that keeps the option for returning home for treatment or death open and doesn't burden my loved ones. It's going to cost me $500 a month but it's peace of mind.
Great video. The Italian retirement lifestyle is active, social and includes healthy food. This will contribute to a long life.
I love your content Sir. Keep up the good work
Great video and very helpful, Thanks!
Grazie mille!! I bought your guidebook to retiring in Italy but this information is extra helpful. A badante is definitely a great deal.
You have the best videos and information. Thank you!
I have a friend who is looking at moving soon. He's just been diagnosed with early stage liver failure due to life long damage from haemochromatosis. I've been reading that there is an excellent transplant program in Northern Italy. How would I even start finding out more information? He was looking at retiring to Italy next year. He is self funded and ok for money. Any advice welcome. 😢❤
This is great! My wife and I recently bought an apartment in a small Italian town (4000 residents) in the Lazio-Umbria-Tuscany region, and we’re debating whether to retire there full time or split our time. This information is critical to know.
What a realistic video that addresses some of those REAL life concerns in the future! It is also comforting knowing I could afford to pay for a part-time home health aid in Italy! It's very likely I will make the move to Italy solo and these are all things I'll have to keep in mind! Thank you Sir for another fine video! I hope our paths may cross one day. Blessings to you!
