"When moving to Genoa, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and culture. Pack clothing that is appropriate for the weather, such as light layers for the summer and heavier layers for the winter. Bring comfortable shoes for walking around the city, as well as a raincoat and umbrella for the frequent rain showers. Additionally, it is important to bring items that will help you feel at home, such as pictures of family and friends, favorite books, and any other items that will make you feel comfortable in your new home," explained one expat living in Genoa, Italy.
