Hello Members,

I'm Louise from UK (33), and soon to be in South Italy (Salerno) from April with my Daughters (3 years old and 2 months old). I would love to meet some new people/friends, and welcome any advice on Expat Mums groups so I can meet other Mothers/children.

Hi,

I posted on this forum a couple of days ago and I would like to know if there´s anyone that can help me with some information regarding a move to either Milano o Torino.  I´ve been living and working in Madrid, Spain, for almost 6 years and am very seriously considering a move to Italy.  I am from the US and also have a EU passport so moving around within the EU is no problem, bureaucratically speaking. 

I would appreciate getting in contact with people living in Milan and/or Torino.

Regards to all.

Beata

Hi!

Hey all,

New to this forum. I’m a US art student, currently  taking couple of long-term courses in 2 art academies in Florence and  hoping to get this fall into a 3-year undergrad program in the academy of fine arts of Venice or Florence (Venice is my 1st choice*).

My 1-year visa expires in Sept. I hope I can get a renewal, so I’m able to do my 3-year degree here in Italy. I wonder if that’s possible, or if I have to go back to the States and redo the whole application process for the new 3-year program.

Hi all, e buon giorno

We are 'senior Dutch folks' and bought a partly restructured house in Umbria 3 years ago and have been working to get it finished until now.
Unfortunately some scum broke into it last month and set fire to the furniture on the ground floor, which has been rendered uninhabitable for now. In my search for protection systems, and other's experiences, I found this forum.

We are here to enjoy a quiet country life for the last stage of our life..... but even in Umbria that seems difficult ;-)

But we won't give up, so here we are...... wishing everybody a great time in this beautiful country, and more luck than we had so far :-)

Hey everyone!
I'm an artist moving to Venice. I'm hoping to take some classes in printmaking, and in the meantime I'd love to find a job as an English tutor, a translator, a guide, or any kind of art job. I'm open to anything! I'd also be down to meet some cool people.

Hi,

I'm Flavio.

I'm Italian and just moved back in Italy (Rome) after many years abroad.

I live in Viale Marconi.

Feeling a bit lost and wishing to keep in touch with Expats that I find more open and close to my mind setting while continuing to learn and practice English, French and Arabic. Open to learn new cultures and languages respecting ways to be, religions and creeds.

Get in touch even just for a chat, an aperitive or a cofee.

Best wishes, cheers Flavio.

Hi all, my wife and I are from South Africa, living about 10km from Assisi near a paese called Collemancio, fraz. Cannara.

We spend 2 months in Italy, then 2 months in South Africa, as we still have several business there.

We are restoring an old farmhouse in the countryside, our second house in Italy, sold the previous one in the Deruta area a few years ago.

Our Italian is still a work in progress, so would love to make contact with English or Dutch speaking expats in the Perugia area.

Nico & Santa.

Ciao a tutti!  New to this site, excited about the possibilities and looking forward to learning more about Milan and Italy as an expat from the US.  Would like to connect with other American expats here to establish dialog on their experiences when they relocated to Milan.  If you're interested please message me!  Arrivederci e grazie!

Thank you for accepting me here.

Hello! My husband and I are both from the United States. We have read through this forum for quite awhile (we've been planning a move to Italy for years), but as we enter into the paperwork and moving phase, I figured it'd be good to introduce myself! We'll be moving to Rome once everything's in order (likely by the end of the year). I've learned a lot from people so far, looking forward to getting to know others here!
