Ciao, y’all!
Have you ever daydreamed about packing up and moving to Italy? Maybe trading in your long commutes and sky-high rent for cobblestone streets and fresh pasta? You’re not alone. But is life in Italy actually more affordable than the U.S., or is that just an expat fantasy?
As many of you know, I have started a series where I am answering my most frequently asked questions around buying a home and living in Italy. In Episode 1 last week, I shared How to Get a Mortgage in Italy, in case you missed it.
In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down the real costs of living in Italy — the good, the bad, and the surprisingly expensive. I’ll share my personal experience moving from Texas to Tuscany, what I thought would be cheap but wasn’t, and the unexpected savings that make life here even sweeter.
