Most of these offers are only valid for people between 18-40, and must be EU or Italian residents. So no retirees. Unfortunately, the Santo Steffano offer expired already in 2020. Would love to hear about other offers that could work for retiree age, if you hear of them.
Based on our information there were no age restrictions for Tuscany. We also believe there are more opportunities coming that will be open to anyone willing to invest in these areas. Thank you for viewing!
4:05 From the picture, I can tell you this property has been neglected for a long while. There is ceiling damage as it needs a new roof, new floors, a redo of the interior plasterwork, and a good paint job which will probably cost you at least €50k. Most likely other issues need to be addressed, like plumbing, heating/cooling, etc. So, unless you are in the business of restoring century-old homes, it will cost you a lot to hire professionals to do the work for you, as they are not cheap. Finally, these incentives mentioned are not for retirees looking to spend their golden years in ease and relation, they are for younger people willing to invest, start a business, and hopefully revitalize the area that presently is dying.
@@MateiA-s5m thank you for this information. Tuscany had no age reatriction when offering their incentive and we expect more like that to come. As far as the estimate, finding help to renovate a home is significantly less than the US, Canada and the Uk.
@@adventurefreaksss Appreciate you taking the time to respond to my comment. I do not have specific details about these incentives offered by some municipalities in Italy, but from what I know, these incentives are meant to attract younger couples to revitalize their communities. Attracting older residents may not be enough to address the underlying issue as many villages are struggling with declining populations and school closures due to a lack of younger generations. Looking forward to your next video with more details about Italy.
This looks and sounds nice, but if I'm looking to move to a town to LIVE in, rather than vacation in, I want to know about more than just what restaurants are within walking distance. I want to know about the grocery stores, farmers' markets, pharmacies, and most importantly, hospitals that are in the immediate area.
My goal was to give a quick overview of nearby restaurants due to the time constraints of the video. However, you can use Google’s 'Nearby' feature to find more options and see how long it would take to reach them by walking, biking, driving, or public transport.
Bonjourno! We are retired American educators considering moving to Italy with our social security and my teacher's pensions to qualify for the Early Retirement Visa ERV. We hope to tour the country in the spring. Grazie! Dean & Cindy
I find your videos very informative. Have you thought about making podcasts out of the audio? Might grow your audience as well. I'd love to listen to them on my walks.
Be aware of beautiful Abruzzo - most of the region is „zona sismica 1 e 2“ high earthquake risk - unfortunately not really to choose for living there 😧
I love Italy, however I'm not so sure about buying a home there due to their frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. From my research into moving there I found many people talking about that. It's the reason why there are $1 ruins for sale. There are about a dozen active volcanoes in Italy and in Sicily and in the sea. So be careful and look into all the pros and especially the cons of moving there if that's what you've been thinking. There's a logical reason why some of these areas are very cheap and alluring.
And an active so-called Supervolcano on top of that. Those regions are seismically active and close to Campi Flegrei. Not to mention the aging population, people in their early 30-s would have very limited options to form relationships and have entertainment in those towns.
Definitely looking into retirement in italy. Grandparents on my dad's side was from Bari, Puglia region. Have been looking into properties in Abruzzo Region. Thankyou for sharing
and you have to consider why italian people run away from these places....to see for few hours or days a place is something, to live there for a long period is something else
Gosh, you need to learn the rules of Italian pronunciation! And these properties need lots of work. Most retirees can't do this, or don't want the headache.
Somewhat interesting, but not so open to the entire internet as an audience. One site said this "must be either Italian citizens, EU citizens or non-EU citizens holding a long-term residence permit, and they need to commit to registering as residents in an Italian town-and they can’t currently reside in a mountain community". So translation, they want to restore these antique towns back to prosperous family-building bedroom communities, not change them into tourist destinations. In fact, I would hardly even say they are soliciting the international buyer of these homes. They want locals or to comply with their obligations to the EU. No thanks for me anyway, since I can get a fixer-upper without walkable beach access for the price of a car, in the USA.
it's not for demographic decline alone, many of these places are not suitable to live in (no jobs, no money, no services, no culture, no opportunities of any kind and so on)
@@adventurefreaksss I know well the village you are talking about in the video. It's ok if you stay there in Summer for few days but it's crazy to think to live there specially if you come from another country (isolation for the snow in Winter, frequent earthquakes that destroyed two times the village in the last 50 years, no jobs, tourism and so on). It's like to describe as a paradise the most isolated ghost town in the Appalachi. It's the same for many proposal that are on youtube: for example, the cases of houses in small villages in deep Sicily, Sardinia, Calabria, none Italians or Europeans would never chose to live there. Maybe it could be useful to mind why. Real Italy is not a postcard.

@@adventurefreaksssare you living in Italy or you are living in America 🇺🇸???
@@JanosNemeth-y7n I am based in the US. Are you in Italy? If so, what region?
Hi I am in the process of buying a home in Molise, are there any incentives there? @@adventurefreaksss
In Abruzzo I would worry about earthquakes
Anywhere you move to you can find something to worry about… if you worry. The key is to stop worrying and move forward.
Please, I want to know more about offers in Tuscany.
Now I'm going to have to make another video covering Tuscany:). We will soon as I love Tuscany too! Many great options in that area!
Wow, what an Awesome place to retire.
Tuscany is my favourite region in Italy
@@tizianabelotti7957 today are video will be on Tuscany! It will go up at 3pm today!

@@MateiA-s5m- yes, I heard for child bearing peeps age with hope of repopulation of areas.
@@adventurefreaksss they will be remote villages in the mountains where no one lives
@@MrNoncredo Some people in there later years want to live in a beautiful country such as Italy and just garden and maybe attend to some chickens:)

From my understanding, obtaining a residency visa is a bureaucratic dilemma on the order of "Paul waiting two years to appear before Caesar"
It can be. We hope Italy is working on improving this!
Bonjourno!

Dean & Cindy, sorry for the delayed reply. Please keep us posted and if you end up in Italy, maybe we can get you on the podcast!
@@adventurefreaksss Bonjourno! We decided on France, instead. But, I'm sure we will visit Italy. Grazie! Dean & Cindy
@@DeanRamser Congrats! Keep us posted on your journey.

@@ZeeZeeCat yes many of the younger folks to move to larger cities or out of country for work. A reality that Italy is facing and working to remedy!
It would be good to know if someone already successfully received the funds to move there. What are the cost breakdown for visa and timeline.
Here is a video on Visa requirements! Let me know if it answers your questions. ua-cam.com/video/_GgEToLlkpE/v-deo.html
This is all great information. Some details to the incentives but now we’re at least aware to look for them when we decide to move.
Definitely looking into retirement in italy.
Grandparents on my dad's side was from Bari, Puglia region. Have been looking into properties in Abruzzo Region.
Thankyou for sharing
I might see you there as I have a similar story. Keep in touch!
@@adventurefreaksssare you living in Italy 🇮🇹 ??😊
@@JanosNemeth-y7n not yet:)
and you have to consider why italian people run away from these places....to see for few hours or days a place is something, to live there for a long period is something else
Puglia is much better in any sense not a dangerous region
@@robertoposa1120 thank you
Where in Puglia
@@rocioastengo2051 you have to watch the video
It is the heel of the boot
Gosh, you need to learn the rules of Italian pronunciation! And these properties need lots of work. Most retirees can't do this, or don't want the headache.
You may need to be my tutor:)
@@adventurefreaksss I would, but i am very low tech! It's not that hard.

it's not for demographic decline alone, many of these places are not suitable to live in (no jobs, no money, no services, no culture, no opportunities of any kind and so on)
50000 dollars to buy and 200000 euro to restore, not to say about the frequent earthquakes in the area
@@roberto6536 that is one way to look at it. There are however various ways to approach Italy and they’re not as dire as you described.
@@adventurefreaksss I know well the village you are talking about in the video.
