We Moved to Italy and Will Never Go Back

One year ago, Michael and Carole took a leap and moved to Italy, and it’s been the best decision they’ve ever made.

In this video, we share their journey of starting a new life in Italy, living in the heart of wine country, and how it’s transformed their relationship and daily routine. From the beauty of Italian culture to the peace of rural living, they explain why they love their new life and how they made the move happen.

If you’ve ever wondered how to move to Italy, or if life in Italy could be right for you, we’ve got tips, insights, and personal stories that might just inspire you to take the plunge.

Watch to discover what makes Italian living so special and why we’d never consider going back.

Join Michael and Carole as they explore the food, the wine, the people, and the slower pace of life that made their dream of living in Italy a reality!

I live and grew up in NYC. I moved to Rome in 2015, best time of my life. I'm now thinking about moving back to Italy. It will be a bit harder now that my british passport is no longer part of the EU. I will definitely contact smart move Italy when I'm ready. I love these videos! Congrats to all the Americans that realized America is no longer the best place to be.

Stiamo parlando di 50 stati ( stati uniti) e non credo che in America esista neanche minimamente un posto così meraviglioso....Italia Magnifica.

We're neighbors! We moved to Assisi, and we love it. Wine in Montefalco is amazing 👏 🤩

Looks like you made the perfect move👍 Umbria is truly gorgeous!! I have lived on the Tuscan Coast since the age of 23😍nothing would induce me to go back to the U.S. esp. now😔 it simply doesn’t attract me anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m 75, last time l was “home” 2018, my relatives come every year🙏

Great video and great choice. I made the same decision and im happy. Im Malaysian and I love my country but for me Italy hits different. I live close to the vineyards and its beautiful. Overall many parts of Europe is my vibe. Lovely couple ❤

They definitely have the right attitude -- live now, enjoy Italy, don't wait, do what you want now! Saluti!

We moved from Australia to Italy in our 60s.. It's not always easy but that's life, we have no regrets and no plans to return...you only ever get one chance to live life!

Great video. You two really scored on the house and Montefalco is a great little town. I'll be over in November for my house closing in Umbria (near Marsciano) closing. The plan was to visit a few months at a time for the next few years, but that timeline shortens every time I see videos like this.

[dianamarino]
