  • The Expat Experience: Retired Chicagoans in Central Italy
    Feb 14 2025

    “If we can do this, anybody can do it.”

    Join a lively conversation with John and Tara about their move to a small, charming village in Italy. They share the highs of enjoying the local community and beautiful landscape to the challenges, or as Tara calls them “adventures,” of language barriers and bureaucracy.

    Learn how this American couple has established a new European home that exceeds their expectations.

    Ever the operations manager, Tara would like to provide the following clarifications:

    • Citizenship does provide a few more things than the ERV (residency, voting etc.)
    • Health care cost here is based on what we make here AND in the US. This year they asked that our commercialista here calculate the correct rate. That didn't happen last year.
