Deciding whether — and where — to retire to Italy.
Expat Living Italy is a publication for people deciding whether to retire to Italy, and where. We work from official data — ISTAT, the Agenzia delle Entrate, the Ministry of Health — and we try to answer the questions that come up once the decision gets serious: what it actually costs, how the tax regimes work, where the health service is strong, and what a town is like out of season.
Get one issue a week. No noise.
