Hello All,
My name is Antonette and I moved to Catanzaro because my son and grandchildren are here.

It's been a change and would like to meet other expats in this area. Please let me know if you are in the Catanzaro Area.

I'm in Business Administration, write grants and open to a part time job, if anyone has a lead.

My heritage is Italia, from Southern California, with many Italian relatives in the Lombardy Region.

I speak some Italian, any tips on how to make the transition a little smoother?

Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction.

Blessings,
Antonette

Dear Gentlemen,

I am a 67 year old pensioner, I have an Indonesian wife and her 8 year old child. I live in Riva near Chieri and I am unfortunately severely disabled due to the damn accident 12 years ago in Germany. I would like to find a skilled masseur, but above all very robust. I have tried various Italian masseurs, but they are not up to the massage. I tried instead an Indonesian massager that in a month made me regain 10 cm. in height in addition to better walking ect. ect. ect. In practice I am looking for someone who knows the very vigorous massage that can come to my house for example 2 times a week to massage me at least for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Kind regards

Joseph

Many thanks

Hi I am in Venice for the next month. I think it's a beautiful place but I do not speak Italian and that leaves me a little left out. I'm staying here by myself on vacation. I'm surprised so few people here speak English. I tried the meet up group from the WhatsApp but there wasn't anybody listed in Venice. I'm hoping someone can direct me to a place where I can find people who speak English

@Shannon Morgan Sorry for you, but why should Venetian people  be expected to speak English?

@LElise 

I am looking into moving to Cortona . Can you give me some advice ? 

Buona giornata.

Hi, my name is Neil and I moved to Cernusco sul Naviglio (MI) in 1999.

Hi

My wife, Denise, and I are buying a property on the west tip of Abruzzo in a small mountain village called Oricola.

We are both still working full'ish time in England but are looking to retire in about 3 years or so and to spend an increasing amount of time in Abruzzo as we can both work for relatively short periods remotely especially my wife.

We both love Italy and particularly Abruzzo as the night life for us is more a question of a nice meal with a drink watching a film as opposed to disco and then party until 3 am the next morning.

Anyway looking to hopefully pick peoples brains at least initially and then in the future to reciprocate.
@LElise

Hello everyone,

I am moving back to Italy after 11 years of living  in the UK.

I am originally from NYC and have lived in both Rome (4 years) and Sestri Levante (3 years) previously.

I have chosen 'Bari vecchia' as I love the sea & of course the warmer climate of the south.

If anyone knows of available  rental  apartments in the old town itself let me know.

Thank you,
Caroline

Hello everyone

My name is Hovig.

My family and I are moving to the Veneto Region from June 2022

My wife is Italian from Piedmont but I am a US citizen. We're coming from the Hudson Valley north of NYC.

I will seek out the specific categories but I joined to get info about housing, transport, language, jobs etc...

(We're looking for a place to rent from either mid June or most probably mid July near Bassano Del Grappa/Marostica - possibly further out closer to Vicenza. We're also looking to buy a car if anyone's selling. I am also interested to learn about language courses anyone might recommend.) I will post these on the appropriate forums as I explore this site).


Thank you!
-Hovig

I'm relocating to Florence in July (2022)  with my wife and my son, Luca, who is a 7 year old kid.

We are Brazilians, my wife and I speak Italian as well as Portuguese and English, but Luca only speaks English and Portuguese.

I'm evaluating two schools for Luca, the Canadian School of Florence and the Bilingual School of Florence and I'm trying to find some other expats who have children studying in one of these schools to give me some feedback.

We are also looking to meet some other families with kids, please let me know if you are interested to meet us.

Best,
Mauricio.
We are visiting  for 4 months too see if Italy is right for us.We are currently outside of Todi.Love to meet up with expats..James and MaryBeth  Lawrence

What sort of lifestyle are you looking for?

We live near Citta della Pieve, a lovely community with kind local people, a good mix of people from all over, in easy reach of major road and rail link, supermarkets, cinema, banks, hospital within 15mins and 3 renowned wineries plus everything you need within 1 hour including Perugia airport. We've been here 15 years and love it.

If you are heading this way perhaps we can meet for coffee or a glass of something chilled.

Ciao

Marguerite & Michael

Hello,

my partner and I moved to Siena from Arizona. He is a video-editor and I am a Mindfulness coach, Qigong/Tai Chi and meditation teacher. We would love to connect with fellow expats in Tuscany. Although I was born and raised in Italy, I've just returned after 27 years in the USA and Mexico to be closer to family. Life is good, but trying our best not to get all the burocracy on paperwork get to us...... :-)



Thank you.
