very beautiful "colli bolognesi"
I live in Bologna since 2002, this year weather is quite strange, usually it's quite hot, during summer I prefer sicily in that part of the year because it's hotter but dryer. Bologna is the best place to stay in Italy in my opinion, not a big city, not a village but full of excellence and you keep discovery it year after year

Very nice and helpful video. I am moving to Florence in October! Very excited and also a bit nervous. Although I am 52, I will be attending an Italian language school for one year and hope to stay in Italy forever. Where are you from? I am coming from America. I'm still in the process of getting my Visa and an apartment. Grazie mille for your video! ❤🇮🇹 p.s. I am going to subscribe to your channel....🙂

Hi Paul, I gotta you beat! I'm 60 and moving to Italy and imparando l'italiano adesso. Good luck and Enjoy!!!
No, you not always have to pay high taxes, or taxes at all. For that, is best to move out of italy and out of all ocse countries,but even in europe there are special incentives that allow you to move and go almost tax free
If I got a job at say a café or a coffee shop would That pay my rent
thinking about to move to italy 2023 but language is the my biggest concern

Io vivo nel Connecticut. Non penso propio che in Italia le tasse sono più alte . Stai scherzando vero? Hai il diritto di cura Gratis...... Solo per citarne una.

In questo video parlo esplicitamente delle tasse sul reddito, sugli automobili ecc. Da quello che so io nessuno stato negli USA non ha income tax che supera il 30%, stesso discorso per l'IVA che è più basso.. La medicina sì, tecnicamente è gratuita in tutti i paesi Europei, ma non è neanche un "regalo": viene coperta dalle tasse che pagano i cittadini, quindi comunque viene pagata, in modo indiretto. Assolutamente Italia non ha le tasse più alte nel mondo (e neanche in Europa, i paesi Scandinavi ovviamente hanno le tasse leggermente più alte), ma non sono nemmeno basse.
Is this beautiful place that you are in this video in bologna?

Yes, the place is called Villa Ghigi and it's a lovely park in the hills right near the city ❤️
As a workaholic-ish freelancer I don't have much of a problem with most of the points in this video
You have a clear Italian accent, you are not really an expat
