Retiring in Italy - In what order do we do things to prepare?

5 years ago

We plan to move to the Abruzzo area of Italy when we turn 62. We will both be receiving a total of about $4000 per month in social security with significant cash assets. We will purchase a house in Italy all cash.
We will move in 2 years. We are interested in the order of our preparations and any tips you may have.
As we understand it:

First, apply for a receive an Italian VISA (how long can this take)?

Second, move to Italy and take a short term rental, while looking for property to buy. IIs it possible to get a 2 month rental)?

Third, get the Italian equivalent of a tax card

Fourth, open an Italian bank account

Purchase property (Does this automatically give us Italian Residency)?

All comments are most welcome, since this process can be daunting.
Thanks in advance!!!!
