I’ve been living in Italy for 8 years now and love it. One thing I think is important to consider: a small town, north or south, can seem very charming, but if you are moving solo, it can be extremely limiting in terms of a social life. Also in the south, services and amenities are not as accessible, especially healthcare. I’m in Firenze (just outside of the historic center so I’m away from the tourist crush but still within walking distance). Yes, the cities are more expensive than small towns, and the north is more expensive than the south, but if you’re coming from a US city like Boston, NY, SF, etc, the cost of living here is still significantly less than in the US.

My parents moved to America in 1968 from Campania (right outside of Naples) and my in-laws came from Sicily at around the same time. I find it absolutely fascinating that people are now leaving the US and going back to Europe or other places that historically would have lost part of its population to the US.

This made me cry. I really really am longing to move from California. We have been contemplating selling our home and relocating. I need real friendships and kind and loving people around me. We don’t have that as Americans. I used to live in Spain, made soo many friends who still check in on me ten years later. Been to Italy a few times and the love and support we got there esp being an interracial couple, was just above and beyond. I need a good sense of community without worrying about all the nonsense we have here in the states. We live a very blessed life and are in one of the best cities on the west coast of Carlsbad California, but something is really missing. And as an empath, it’s something I need desperately. We don’t trust easily and we don’t keep company with the wrong people. Ive always felt loved there. My hubby thinks it’s a great idea as well. It’s just a matter of making it happen. I think I’ll be at peace. I’m still young at 45 and my hubby retired early, but I can work remotely. I just want a simpler happier existence. ❤ Love this series. Love this video. 🙏

That may come largely from being in a fairly small village where people are out and about on the streets during the days as opposed to in their cars. It's easy to meet and enjoy people which is not the case in most places I've been. The downside, and I think this applies to pretty much all of Italy, is that there are few restaurant options other than Italian. Since I cook most of my meals myself I can work around that but it would be nice to have some options when going out to eat.

Hi, I think she REALLY understands Calabria. sometimes an "outside eye" can explain a place better than someone who was born there. It would be wonderful a video of yours to tell how safe and crime-free Calabria is. unfortunately many still believe is un-safe, which is a pity.

I moved to Abruzzo 5 years ago. I absolutely love it here. People are kind and helpful and warm. I hope you love it here too.

Well...this raises our interest. I think we'll visit Italy and carefully observe. Thank you for sharing.

03:15 i agree about this, i'm italian and i grew up in Rome, when foreigners say 'wow you r lucky, amazing', i answer as a tourist for 2-3 weeks in Rome, Florence, Milan etc, it is surely beautiful, but for living it's another story. Smaller cities-towns, if you find the right ones, that's what i call paradise (cost of living, quality of life, basic services and connections wise, fresh food, amount of sun) :) But as for job opportunities, smaller realities might be problematic, so if you have a certain amount of money from a richer economy or you are retired having an income, good! enjoy :)

Hi! I am going to visit Scalea end of the week, we're sort of planning to get a closer look. I am concerned about medical services in that area, any good options available that you could recommend? Thanks!

I love the Italian people, small towns are great, I live in a small town in Nova Scotia but winters are cold and summers are 10 weeks maybe 12 weeks on a good year and cost of living is high with taxes, inflation on food and taxes!

I’m gonna suggest a little town very close to Rome about 40km (Roman metropolitan area is even close). It’s Castel San PIetro Romano, less there 1000 people on top of a mountain 700 meters from see level. The sea is pretty far 1 hour by car but the nature and the views are incredible. Down the mountain you can find all the services you can need. Houses prices are very cheap. The winter is a little bit cold but nothing compared with some US states or Canada. Have a look ;-)

I understand you, people were criticized me for buying a house in Mexico 🇲🇽, I love Mexico and their people, going to Italy is one of my dreams. Congratulations for taking that risk it's worth it.

I watch LEAW channel. They just bought a home in Italy for $1. You have to fix up. Sweet little towns with beautiful views. They are in Sicily.

Calabria is in the earthquake central zone! The last earthquake was 2017. So think about that why it's so cheap. I was excited about Italy. I have family in Sicily. Sardinia is a safe area to live but more isolated.

Some of us are connected to a person who can get citizenship by descent and fell in love with Italy. I’m looking forward to retirement there for a healthier lifestyle and all that is Italy.

It seems like a great opportunity for people with lots of dough. But I really tuned in to find is there somewhere on Earth that I could own a home that no one could take away. Btw my name is La Rocca. So I feel like I might have some buy-in haha!

I don't think lots of dough is needed and if so make the adjustments to make it happen. No matter where you are someone can take it all a matter of power I guess.

1500 usd per month is even too much , a lot depends where u are staying , a lot . cities are way more expensive then small towns or villages . so considering the rent the main issue the same size of the apartment will be 30/40% less expensive from north to south ( south is cheaper ) and another 20/30% from city to villages or small towns .

Too much when compared to what?

Жыл бұрын

It depends where in the north. In Piedmont and some areas of Lombardy/Emilia for example, you can find a lot of properties for cheap and with a better price/condition ratio than the South. Things is it's cold and it snows in winter and there is no sea if you like that.

I don't spend 1500 a month and I save money each month. Utilities can be tricky when it is hot as hades or cold as a witches bum. But I put in pellet stove and a wood burning stove in my fireplace in the kitchen. My house stays cozy. I also installed AC. It was not too expensive this past summer. and it was hot here.

Are there any villages near a college?

Deep renovation costs 1000 Euros a square meter, +/- 20%. This price assumes that there are not unforeseen problems and that you find a honest contractor. Are there day care, elementary, junior high schools around? How close to home is the nearest parking slot? These warnings are the HONEST thing to do.

I haven't come close to 1000/sq meter. Even in the states. I'm not sure about Calabria but in the town I have purchased there are schools and a hospital, banks, markets, all one needs until 18. After 18 most go to university in Palermo Catania or mainland.

Brava ! Good Job! Hai capito la vita italiana 😉😎
