"3 Secrets to Buy Your Dream Home in Italy"

They seem to have great prices from the US to Italy. I've flown this airline from Orlando to Rome in 2022 and it was fantastic. Not like a cheapie airline at all (i.e. Ryanair / EasyJet!) 

This is a compilation of all the articles I receive about places in Italy. It's a work in progress but might be useful if you're undecided where to buy or looking for a new holiday destination. 

This was written by Olga Palma of the Palma Law Firm to clarify this part of the process.

This is a fun way to make or find flashcards, quizzes, etc. for language - and other - learning.

I absolutely love this series! A group of four "albergatori" rate hotels around Italy.

Lots of valuable information in these guys' videos and podcasts about obtaining Italian citizenship. 

I found this guy's explanations of Italian taxes very clear and useful, especially pertaining to real estate.

This organization helps people relocate to Italy. There is a wealth of information on their website and YouTube channel. 

 Avvocata Olga Palma at Palma Law Firm provides dedicated legal support for all property-related matters in Italy.

This guide by Avvocata Olga Palma is a great starting point and resource for international buyers of property in Italy.

This is another resource for learning Italian that doesn't spend most of the time yakking in English. Free and paid versions.

Here's another resource for learning Italian! This is great listening practice. 

He talks fast and only in Italian (with subtitles.)

Apparently, this is the first Italian agency dedicated to transporting pets.

If you're thinking about purchasing a rental investment property or renting your home, you should be aware of these changes to self-check-ins being banned. It seems there are loads of rental management companies all over the country to solve this problem.

This is the list from The Association The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy (that's the actual name.)  It includes over 360 selected and certified villages which are the expression of the beauty and charm of which Italy is a leader in the world. 

This is a funny video from my favorite Italian language learning channel - Easy Italian. 

"10 Food Rules You Should Not Break in Italy"

This is a cool website with information about 261 ski resorts in Italy ~ snow reports, accommodation, transfers, equipment rentals, lessons, etc. There is also a forum.

This is a good 'starting place' article from the Telegraph newspaper in the UK, especially if you'll be skiing in Italy for the first time. 

If you're thinking about buying a place in Italy in time for the upcoming Winter Olympics, this is a great resource for the venues and any other information you might need. 

If you're considering buying a place in Puglia, this is a great video. I really like the aesthetic of this guy's channel. Btw, I didn't copy his name. I've had the domain Live Your Dream Hawaii for several years so when I started this project, I named it Live Your Dream Italy. 

I think the € 1 home programs are great but I'm not personally a fan because of all the requirements and I know you can find a home in Italy in good condition for far less than you'll end up investing in a € 1 home. 

Whether you want to buy a regular or €1 home, you - and everyone you want of the title - will need a codice fiscale. This is an Italian Tax Code. Lots of info on the internet about this but I used this firm to get mine and it was honestly the smartest €120 I've ever spent!
