Living in Italy means organizing your daily life there: finding an apartment, planning your routes, making connections, and knowing the right people to contact. This page brings together our guides on all aspects of life. New posts appear automatically in the article archive.
Our sections range from housing and work to family and transportation, as well as money, health, and insurance. You can click on the topic links to go directly to a section or browse through the latest posts. If you're just starting to plan your move, begin with Moving to Italy.
A city apartment with everything close by presents different challenges than a house in the countryside. Consider which stores, transportation options, and services you actually need on a regular basis. Talking to locals and visiting outside of the peak tourist season will help you get a sense of what your daily life there will be like.
Language skills make many small tasks easier: asking for information, scheduling an appointment, or understanding a letter. Our section Learn Italian provides you with suggestions on this. If you have specific questions about residency rights, taxes, or insurance, the relevant authorities or qualified professionals are the right people to contact.
Answers to help you take your next step—and more to read.
