I read the comments of the difficulties but for an Italian it’s not so cumbersome. Perhaps connecting with a specialized firm can take the stress off the table. I live in Beautiful Viterbo, very kind people and a very good infrastructure. Life here is quite an amazing experience.

I holiday in Italy frequently and, in fact, considered buying a property there but reconsidered. I have a colleague at work here in London who despise immigrants in Italy. I, however, agree that it is an excellent destination to holiday at.

I lived in Verona, Italy for four years right on the Adige River. Loved visiting Lake Garda and taking the trains to Milan and Venice.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful presentation and video

Agreed, Salento is a hidden gem. The coast is not the best, pretty rocky, but still quite beautiful. The food is amazing with all kinds of seafood-inspired. The best part is, it's less expensive and much less crowded than other regions. Hope it stays that way.

Rent before buying. Prices of houses and lack privacy and govt rules are a major issues. We looked at these places and choose Spain. Cheaper operating cost and more privacy. Do your research but rent a place for a month and you will have better understanding. Renovation laws and workers are always an issue.

Quite a random list...
A better advice would be to go to Google Maps and choose what you like best, keeping in mind a few general points about Italy:
- infrastructures are worse in the South, but prices are lower, people are warmer (like the weather), and food is better.
- notable exceptions in the North in terms of food and welcoming people are Tirol and Romagna.
- safety is high everywhere, but it's higher in smaller cities/towns.

Italy is the jewel of Europe despite the commonly known problems. They know how to live well.
Take care in Calabria Palermo and Messina - mafia hot spots and Sorento under the shadow of Versuvius...

Rent for a year at least before commiting long term - - culture and life style may not be so attractive after a while - - moving to Italy because of food, wine, <. DOLCE VITA >and cheap properties are not a good reason, won't guarantee you a good life -there are other countries a lot more beautiful with better standards for that matter - - be aware

[mauricecioccato]

Sardihnia is quite big...where do you wanna by house????

[jim]

Elba? Didn't some Corsican guy retire there a couple centuries ago?

[martinoignisci]

If you move to Southern Italy you pay only 7% of taxes.

[Mark-ejoi]

Best Country to live? Seriously? Never ever tried to fight with the public administration in Italy? Never ever paid taxes there? Italy is great, but for holidays and then back home (lived there 15 years)

[Unoduetrequattro]

I strongly advice you to look as to wether the health services are appropriated. I am Italian but would NEVER be able to live in Sicily, Calabria etc.
