"Expats in Liguria often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as many locals do not speak English. Additionally, the pace of life in Liguria is much slower than in other parts of Italy, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the slower pace. Furthermore, the local cuisine can be quite different from what expats are used to, and they may find it difficult to find familiar foods. Finally, the local customs and traditions can be quite different from what expats are used to, and they may find it difficult to adjust to the new culture," commented one expat who made the move to Liguria, Italy.
