Lucca is incredible. In addition to telling us all the secrets the walled city holds, this episode includes some amazing tips and insight into increasing personal comfort in a rental home while lowering costs in heating and cooling. It also covers a topic SO close to my heart: grandparenting from afar.

Moving to Italy: Innovative Startup Visa in Piedimonte, Etneo, Sicily 53:48

منذ 1 year53:48

53:48

"Life is too short not to live purposefully." Just one of the many tidbits of wisdom today's guest offered. Not everyone wants to wait months or years for their dream in Italy to begin. And not everyone wants to retire. Today's guest joins me to explain how she obtained Italy's Innovative Startup Visa -- sometimes called the 250K Investor Visa -- and how that Visa offers them opportunities to continue running their US based businesses from Italy, how her husband can maintain his remote work, AND the opportunity to MAKE money on the Italian investment they diligently selected. We'll chat about the villa they've recently purchased in Sicily, the complete rehab they're planning and the general affordability of her adopted Italian home. I hope you enjoy today's rather atypical episode... with PURPOSE! Want to find out more about and follow today's entrepreneurial guest? Check out her links below: Website: CurdsandCo.com Website Website and Order to Your Door: Curdbox.com Follow the Villa rehab on Instagram: @OurPlaceInSicily Follow the Villa rehab on the Website: OurPlaceInSicily.com and coming SOON..... projectsicily.com…

The odds of getting one work visa make you a unicorn. The odds of getting two are unfathomable. Professional musicians, authors and travel experts, Matt and Zeneba Bowers of Little Roads Europe, made that magic happen just prior to the Covid lockdowns in Italy. Their new life in the region of Lazio continues to defy imagination as they pursue so many passions including their own travel business, a successful series of travel books and by contributing to the world of classical music so alive and rich in Italy.

Moving to Italy: 2023 End of Year Tax Update with Paolo Rigo 1:09:46

منذ 1 year1:09:46

Tax time is stressful. So are potential Year End legislative changes to Italy's Budget Law. Recent rumors and a few news articles have had people extremely worried and wondering if they should "pull the trigger" on a last minute move to Italy. They're also wondering if its even POSSIBLE to become Tax Residents in Italy with such a short timeframe. Tax expert and amazing all-around amazing person, Paolo Rigo, shares with us what he thinks may be possible. He also generously covers some issues specific to Dual Citizens and taxation as well as general 7% Flat Tax information. You'll be hearing him again. But for now, we both REALLY hope this helps to reduce your anxiety and empower you to find balance in seeking YOUR affordable life in Italy.

7% Flat Tax Towns: Santa Croce Camerina, Ragusa, Sicily 1:07:26

Just because you HAVE Italian Residency doesn't mean you have to keep both feet on Italian soil year round. Today's guest, Kim Sutton, and her husband fell in love with sailing while still living in pre-Brexit England. The Mediterranean on their own boat was the goal. Be careful where you park your boat... it just might end up being home! They fell in love with a little slice of Sicily that's HIGHLY connected to everywhere in the Mediterranean and beyond, and is still where sailors from all over the world come to port. It only made sense to take the dream one step further. They found a 7% flat tax qualifying town with a reasonably priced home, and now spend six months of the year sailing the sea, and six months with dry feet near Marina di Ragusa, Sicily. Join us as we explore one of the best little kept secrets in Italy!…

Italy’s Affordable Regions: Le Marche’ with Mark Hinshaw 1:38:05

1:38:05

If I could give you only ONE person to talk to regarding building a new life in Italy, it would be this guy. Unfortunately, I'm giving you THIS guy 4 months after our initial recording (my tech-NO-bility issues). Mark Hinshaw, successful author, artist, architect, urban planner, journalist and for many years now, immigrant to Italy, joined me to discuss the affordability of his life with his Italian-blooded wife, Sunny Savina Bertollini, in San Vittoria en Matenano, a 7% flat tax town in the region of Marche'. (Mark and Sunny are not recipients of Italy's 7% Flat Tax regime as their arrival predated the tax offering's birthdate.) Although this episode is full of great information on cost of living and other monetary issues that we love to explore, I'd invite you to listen DEEPLY, as I know noone who has mastered the art of assimilation and acculturation as well as they have. Enjoy this gem of a person hiding high on a hilltop in this beautiful region tucked closely behind the Appenine mountains and overlooking the beautiful Adriatic Sea.

Italy’s Affordable Towns: Lucca, Tuscany, with Our Italian Journey’s Gary and Ilene Modica 1:12:36

Affordability is generally NOT a concept much associated with Italy's Tuscan region. The epicenter of all things Renaissance is often depicted in films with heavenly landscapes and hilltop towns, and books often describe its idyllic setting amidst some of Italy's most delightful sensory experiences. Many of us have swooned for decades. But affordable?? Can someone ACTUALLY live in Tuscany affordably? Believe it or not, Gary and Ilene Modica of Our Italian Journey do. They are accomplished authors and bloggers sharing their own journey to a life in Italy with a mission to help enourage others to make a way. Lucca is incredible. In addition to telling us all the secrets the walled city holds, this episode includes some amazing tips and insight into increasing personal comfort in a rental home while lowering costs in heating and cooling.

Italian taxes are notoriously challenging. So are Visas. Misinformation abounds. This episode highlights many areas someone interested in moving to Italy MUST know in order to navigate successfully. With discussion from “the basics” like “Is it true that Italy Taxes income at 43%” (NO!) to special tax saving opportunities like the 7% Flat Tax for Retiree. It also touches on factors that someone would need to know BEFORE they move to Italy. Nicolò Bolla shares his expertise.

Italy’s 7% Flat Tax Towns: Silvi Marina, Abruzzo 59:25

منذ 1 year59:25

Monica Dalton, our guest for today's 7% Flat Tax episode, lives in Silvi Marina, Abruzzo. She obtained her Dual-US Citizenship and moved her Florida lifestyle to a more affordable waterfront venue. The entire region of Abruzzo is subject to Italy's 7% flat tax offering as long as the town in question has NOT been absorbed by a larger town (frazione) AND as long as the population is less than 20,000 when someone moves there. (*There are many other rules to consider when evluating Italy's 7% flat tax status, so I ALWAYS recommend consulting with a qualified Italian commercialista prior to making ANY move -- neither Monica, nor I are experts.) Monica enjoys the Adriatic Sea stretching before her, and tells us skiing in the gorgeous mountains behind her is just minutes away. She does a tremendous job of sharing with us SO many ways in which Silvi Marina (and Silvi Alta, the old town above Silvi Marina) are so very affordable! Join us on Facebook to meet Monica, and to find resources for more information about Italy's 7% Flat Tax regime.

Have you seen"No Time to Die", the recent James Bond movie? The 007 isn't the only one who knows where to find beauty and a little bit of action. Greg Foster, a local living in Matera, Basilicata, gives us great insight into a region not much known amongst immigrants. Many towns in the region qualify for Italy's 7% Flat Tax, and Greg helps us better understand what the region offers in healthcare, housing, recreation and potentially, a HUGE tip on how residents might save money on utilities. Basilicata is not only beautiful, it's affordable.
