I read the comments of the difficulties but for an Italian it’s not so cumbersome. Perhaps connecting with a specialized firm can take the stress off the table. I live in Beautiful Viterbo, very kind people and a very good infrastructure. Life here is quite an amazing experience.

i love Alps, I relocated in dolomiti area which is around 100km from Venice, bellismo for people dont like hot weather, summer very comfortable.

You bought or rent?

I holiday in Italy frequently and, in fact, considered buying a property there but reconsidered. I have a colleague at work here in London who despise immigrants in Italy. I, however, agree that it is an excellent destination to holiday at.

Rent before buying. Prices of houses and lack privacy and govt rules are a major issues. We looked at these places and choose Spain. Cheaper operating cost and more privacy. Do your research but rent a place for a month and you will have better understanding. Renovation laws and workers are always an issue.

Thank you for the tip! I’ve been researching and will continue to do so with a goal to move to either Spain, Italy or France in 5-10 years. I’m starting my research now.

I lived in Verona, Italy for four years right on the Adige River. Loved visiting Lake Garda and taking the trains to Milan and Venice.

Agreed, Salento is a hidden gem. The coast is not the best, pretty rocky, but still quite beautiful. The food is amazing with all kinds of seafood-inspired. The best part is, it's less expensive and much less crowded than other regions. Hope it stays that way.

Please don’t tell everybody! I just returned from 10 days in Salento, based in Lecce. The food was the biggest surprise to me, even tourist traps with plastic chairs bring simple but stunning fare to the table. Lecce is gorgeous, it allows you to live surrounded by history and cultural beauty carved into its heavenly stone, while you can drive to the beach on either coast quite quickly. The people we met were so friendly, warm-hearted and helpful. Another bonus is being so far south the weather is even better than in central Italy. I plan to retire to Italy and Salento has shot to the top of my list.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful presentation and video

Quite a random list... A better advice would be to go to Google Maps and choose what you like best, keeping in mind a few general points about Italy: - infrastructures are worse in the South, but prices are lower, people are warmer (like the weather), and food is better. - notable exceptions in the North in terms of food and welcoming people are Tirol and Romagna. - safety is high everywhere, but it's higher in smaller cities/towns.

Pros: 1. Great climate and scenery. 2. Rich cultural and art heritage. 3. Lower cost of living compared to other European countries. 4. Access to high-quality health care. 5. Easy access to other European countries for travel. Cons: 1. Language barrier if you don’t speak Italian. 2. High taxes on pensions. 3. Difficulty of immigrating and obtaining legal residency. 4. More bureaucracy and paperwork compared to other countries. 5. Difficult to find housing in large cities like Rome and Milan.

Well Mafia doesn't really affect pensioners, does it😅? Actually several of the areas that have traditionally a mafia presence are way safer than London, Paris or any medium, large sized American city by several order of magnitudes. Italy is generally safe especially in the province. The areas to pay attention to are some neighbourhoods of large cities such as Rome, Milan or Naples

Rent for a year at least before commiting long term - - culture and life style may not be so attractive after a while - - moving to Italy because of food, wine, and cheap properties are not a good reason, won't guarantee you a good life -there are other countries a lot more beautiful with better standards for that matter - - be aware
