Why do people move to Italy?

"Italy is renowned for its rich culture, timeless architecture, exquisite cuisine, diverse landscapes, beautiful beaches, unique lifestyle, and vibrant cities. Expats are often lured by the country's relaxed pace of life and reputation for good living, which pairs so well with its ancient yet modern cities. The country's excellent healthcare system and strong healthcare infrastructure also appeal to expats. Italy also boasts excellent transportation infrastructure, making it easy for expats to get around independently. Other advantages for expats in Italy include multiple job opportunities, a strong economy, and affordable housing," remarked another expat in Italy.

"My husband and I went to Italy together in 2016 and returned 2017 with our children and their significant others for Christmas then in 2018 we decided we would retire there. The cities are magnificent and Uniquely different from each other. We are from NY and have an apartment in Manhattan. I am of Italian decent and felt a natural pull to be in Italy more than just to vacation. Italy has it all and most regions are a reasonable distance of you settle in the center of the country. We looked for 2 years, going back two or three times a year to find our house. We looked in Tuscany because even though it is top of the mind and quintessential Italy to Americans, there is good reason. It is BREATHTAKING. So is Umbria. We settled in an area that is not tourist driven. We have over 200 olive trees and had our first harvest this past fall. We found excellent tradesmen to help us renovate. They and their families became our friends. We shared our garden tomatoes, garlic and olive oils with each other. We are learning Italian through them because they do not speak English. It has been an amazing first year. We are an hour to Florence by car. And 2 1/2 hours to Rome. We are 2+ hours to the Adriatic or the Mediterranean. We have not only Florence but Perugia and Arezzo supper close as well as the wine regions of Chianti, Montepulciano and Montecino. Do you love sunrises and sunsets? Do you love looking over a valley with the fog draping the hills? Do you love food, wine and clean air? Do you love time standing still? We do. This is a very short list why we chose to live in Italy. ," said a member in Italy.
