I found this book to be incredibly satisfying, living up to its promise as the ultimate relocation guide. And I loved that it included beautiful photography throughout.
It delves into embracing the slower-paced lifestyle and finding comfort in the Italian way of life. The author provides comprehensive details, encompassing everything from starting a business and buying property to navigating utilities and waste disposal for renters. She also offers valuable insights on radio stations, VAT, major Internet providers, and the nuances of purchasing a car in Italy.
I particularly appreciated how the author seamlessly integrated Italian phrases and expressions throughout the book, which not only enriched my understanding but also helped me remember key Italian words I learned when I visited Italy.
When the thought of becoming an expatriate crosses my mind in years to come, I'll turn back to this book for its comprehensive insights. The author's breakdown of Italy's 20 regions and provinces in the final chapter is additionally valuable, offering detailed guidance on "where to live in Italy."
This book is a fantastic and thorough read, especially for anyone considering relocating or seeking citizenship through ancestry in Italy.
