Thank you for such an informative podcast!

And they have access to real food without all the chemicals that are killing us. These people are wise much wiser than most.

Being older what happens if you get sick? I find this scary but a reality. My sister had a terrible time in a Spanish hospital!!

Everything is better than the United terrorists.

The title is a rhetorical question right? OF COURSE IT IS. The USA is a Sh---e. Left there 4 years ago and don’t ever want to go back. 😅

Great podcast! I’m an American living in italy….moved here in 2022. Well, got caught driving on my USA license which I did for about two years. I was rear ended, police were nice, but cost me about 500 Euro’s in fines. They also CONFISCATED and sent my license back to USA. Also, I got a fine for my international drivers license (misnomer, it’s just a translation and nothing else) is only good if it’s from AAA, which can be done with a AAA application printed from the web, but it’s snail mail only. I got a fine for having a non AAA international driving permit from some other online company which sends you an official looking credit card sized card, with your photo and it looks all official. Well those little plastic cards mean ZERO….zero. They even asked to keep it in a sincere way so they could show their DMV type people what scams are out there. It must be AAA.

Very interesting. Thanks.

This video was so insightful. I am impressed.💕

Brava ❤ the podcast. You’re an excellent communicator. I married my Italian wife at commune in Sansepolcro in 2012, her grown children and 1 grandchild live there. We are now retiring, plan to have residence in Italy and her birth country of Egypt, now I understand how to plan the Italian process. 😊

I'm so happy for you. I love Italy. I was vacationing there right when everything got shut down because of coronavirus. So I almost got stuck in Italy. That would have been nice.😂

What a beautiful couple ! What a great adventure ❤

No......

is that even a question?

Hardly. Italy’s economy hasn’t grown since the nineties. Stagnate. They are giving real estate away trying to get people to move there. Plenty of vacant houses. If you are retired with source of income, life can be good. If you plan to move there and work and make a life, stay in America. I’d like to know who sponsors this well directed/choreographed production. Disingenuous promotion can ruin people’s lives.

Benvenuti nella mia regione Carole e Micheal , tanta felicita' per voi🙌

Seriously, if you want to enhance your child's future have them major in different languages, as well as what their majoring . The event they are assigned to foreign countries by their workplace. It says a great deal for the company they work for and a increased income.

I have been trying to figure this out, my mom came to the US with her parents at age 9 and her parents (my grandparents) had to renounce their italian citizenship (1959). Does this mean because my mom was a child when her parents renounced the citizenship I can possibly get my citizenship? Thank you

TO SET YOUR MIND AT EASE THE USA , NORTH AMERICA AS YOU SO QUAINTLY CALL IT, HAS DEVOLVED INTO A FLY ENCRUSTED, SMOLDERING PILE OF SHIT FIT ONLY FOR MORONS, IGNORAMUSES, MISFITS , GANGSTERS AND ALL OTHERS WHO ARE UNABLE, UNWILLING, OR TOO UNWELL TO LEAVE. TRUMP WILL SQUEEZE THE LAST DROP OF BLOOD OUT OF THAT COUNTRY UNTIL IT RESEMBLES A CORPSE FEASTED UPON BY VAMPIRES. ITS IDIOT CITIZENRY INVITED THIS UPON THEMSELVES. DON'T EVER RETURN OR EVER LOOK BACK. INSTEAD, CONCENTRATE ON SHEDDING AS MUCH OF YOUR IDIOMATIC AMERICAN PERSONALITY AS YOU CAN SINCE IT IS LOOKED UPON BY THE REST OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY AS A BADGE OF BRUTISH, IGNORANT VULGARITY. BEST OF LUCK.

Hi! Thank you! I have a question about taking the steps through attaining citizenship through marriage? My husband is taking the B1 Level test in March -- Is there an email or phone number I can contact you with? Thank you. Laura

I love italy I want come to italy 🇮🇹, i from Pakistan help me

If you're from the US, you're not Italian. If you grew up in America, surrounded by Americans, inheriting their culture, then you're not Italian, and it doesn't matter if your great-great-grand uncle came from Sicily. You may have an Italian surname, but you are American. You may speak a couple of broken words in some Italian dialect that doesn't exist any more but that doesn't make you Italian. You may have Italian citizenship thanks to your great-great-great-great-grandparents and to questionable Italian nationality laws. But you aren't and will never be Italian. You were raised in USA. You went to American schools. You have American friends, You speak English in a thick American accent. You watch US TV shows. You support the US national team. Your relatives were born in America. You have no clue of the Italian culture of the last 150 years. You couldn't name 10 cities in Italy. You couldn't name 10 songs from Italy... and I could keep going. You have to be raised in Italy to be Italian.

If you wa t to live in Italy, just look around!!!

my respect for the gentlemen who is raising his grand. i also am raising my grandchild and retirement now is different but worth our sacrifice. I cant imagine my world without her in it.

Are the annual property taxes on a home purchase in Italy also assessed on cathedral value, or must they be assessed on purchase price?

Can a US citizen without a residential permit open a bank account in Italy? And likewise, can an EU citizen who owns A Home In Italy, open an Italian bank account?

How long can a dual US/EU citizen stay in Italy legally?

Yay! The first comment. Love watching your videos. Keep up the great work 💪🏻

nowhere

Hypothetical question: I'm far along in the process, where a US consulate is reviewing my JS citizenship application via a great grandparent(not 1948, no minor issue). If Italy decided to implement a generartional limit tomorrow, to only go as far back as grandparents, would that "law" be retroactive to all people currently not recognized by the government yet - OR - only people born on that date of the new law's creation (11/21/2024) and on regarding its authority? (Does that make sense?) Basically, I want to know if I'm safe from a generational limit law being created out of thin air before my recognition is compete. Thanks so much!

How much would a decent two bed house or apartment cost to buy.,,

The retiree who moved with his grand-daughter - what a wonderful, rich life he's giving her!

Excellent video! Grazie Mille!!!

How are things for gay couples in Italy, especially in Abruzzo?

Samantha I've just started listening to you and you are truly a fountain of information. My question is rather specific. My male partner and I are going to be married in February. He is an Italian citizen who lives and works in Italy. I was planning on getting my ERV. I'm totally retired. What should I be doing? I'm an American. Appointments with the consulate in Miami and it takes at least 2 years to get an appointment. Jim

Thank you very much for this informative video. I believe I can now start my journey. Thank you 🙏🏽.

These Truffants have got it right, not about stuff, well done

The Houston police officer - so so sweet :) First of all, Houston <3, and then who would have thought that a simple police officer would have such lofty aspirations as to moving to Italy...and taking his little granddaughter with him? Such a lovely story.

Much prettier but difficult to live in….go elsewhere!!!

I met an Italian woman that took my heart and breath away. If I could go it would have been yesterday.

Immigrants...not expats

Lovely! Do you speak fluent Italian?

I wish you the best! I too would love to move to Italy. There are so many more health benefits there that you cannot get here in America. And living near such beautiful scenery and history is just amazing!

All I see here are North American well off comparing to locals...

how much is the fine

This is a dream.

Life in Texas is good.

Yes, nature's a good thing. Not being in the US is a damn good thing.

Hi Samantha! Quick question. What if you're non european citizenship and married to an italian citizen with kids (italian citizens). What's the process to register the kids in to access schools, health sector etc. Last but not least regarding translated marriage and birth certificates and had already translated and submitted it to the italian embassy of the country we are currently residing in. Do you need to translate it again before arrival or you can extract it from AIRE? Lastly can you clarify more about the tax you mentioned at the post office/station and regarding the driving licence what if you've taken it in another EU citizen isn't there some sort of exchanging scheme or you have to go through the same process as a learner to acquire one? Ah what if you're living in an EU country and have the residence permit/card is there a different procedure or you'll have to start afresh in Italy? Thanks

Hi, I’m a little confused! Could you please clarify something-I will be married next month to an Italian citizen who resides in Italy (I am an American citizen). I thought right after we are married I can just apply for the permesso, is that correct? Or do I need a visa? I’ve already made travel arrangements to move there so am concerned… we have co-signed on a home we are planning to live in together.
