Hi! Very informative thank you! Do you know if you are obliged to return to work after maternity and if so, for how long so you don’t pay back your maternity allowance? Thanks in advance!

Grechetto is awesome

Do I need a codice fiscale and if so how do I get one? Not allowed to travel outside the country?? What if it's within three months of getting to Italy and I could claim I'm a tourist?

Very useful information. Thanks a lot. A quick question. I heard that once you open a partita IVA, you have to pay the tax for minumum of revenue of 5000 euro anyway. Regardless of you having client or not. Is it true?

I couldn't date my way out of a paper bag, but i've had no problem making friends . The idea of online dating really creeps me out ; guess i'm super old school meaning it seems rather important to meet a person in person.

Wow. What a topic! First, what you expose is not reality, but your perception of reality after prolonged residence. However, I don't think you could fully understand objective reality yet. Let me give an example. I live in Piedmont, my mother was from Piedmont and my father from Puglia (there are not many Pugliesi in Piedmont because they preferred Lombardy). My grandfather immigrated here 70 years ago, after the war. The American friend talks about Piedmont as if it were one. It is not. Turin and the towns within 20 kms is one thing (that's where the Sicilians and Calabrians are concentrated, to a lesser extent the immigrants from Basilicata and their descendants) and the rest of Piedmont is another thing, because the majority of the population is native or comes from other parts of the North. Turin is the second southern city after Naples. Similarly, it can be said that there is no unitary South. Each region has its own problems and they are different. Then, both in the North and in the South, social classes have always existed and they have always behaved differently even within the same area. Finally, it should be pointed out that the descendants of southerners, in the North also behave differently because certain aspects of the South that you now consider traditional were formed after their emigration (so they were not their own originally). For example: expensive marriages were impossible in 1950 or 1960.

Thanks so much for this detailed info. I'm still undecided about whether I want to drive when I move to Italy or not, but this info helps so much.

Hi, I am an international student in Italy, I bought the Italian health insurance but I never received a card, I only have a document (a piece of paper). How can I get the health insurance card ?

Utterly fascinating information ~ whew luckily i love going to bars and events and i'm a total blabbermouth 😊

Love the diversity of topics you present

Once again what a wonderful subject , by the way your a natural interviewer ~ this summer i am back in umbria and after 40 years going back to university to study the language for my eventual permanent return. Anyways I am so glad to be here now ! P.s. congratulations on your nuptials ~ it really restores my faith in humanity

Go central cause ya got the worst of the rich and the best of the poor

I love these insights! And I love to hear you both on the same podcast - I've been a Ms. Britaly follower for some time.

I'm glad your channel was suggested to me. I'm trying to get everything in properly in place before moving to Italy in the near future. I hoped to be able to transition my freelance business smoothly.

I never, ever paid 30% taxes in the US with an income, as a one person self-employed design firm with an income of $350k + everything done legally!!! - -

Very cool

Can I take a translator with me?

Your video appeared randomly and I decided to open it. Just listened for 40 seconds and, without knowing the rest, I must say that it's BETTER THAN 99% OF EVERYTHING OUT THERE. Moving to a country is all about that, a real life with bureaucracy, not eternal holidays. We need registration to work, be able to secure and set up a home, eventually find a job/clients/whatever, look for doctors when sick, pay income tax, etc. I had to do all that in another European country, it's no joke. Keep up the good work. (Edit: typo)

Cosa Nostra, Camorra and N'Drangheta are more powerful and ruthless than American Mafia. Back in the 80s and 90s the Corleonesi and Toto Riina was like the Medellin cartel and Pablo Escobar at the same era. They killed judges, politicians and police officers.

Thanks for this information! I'll be moving to Italy in a few years - currently getting citizenship papers together - and I'm a freelance writer. You've solidified the idea that I DO need an accountant. And your list of resources is awesome! I look forward to listening to future episodes.

Excellent subject 👌 thanks very informative

What kind of p@$$y @$$ friends do you have who say that lol. I've NEVER heard anyone say remotely similar. Most ppl wanna Italy because of the food and culture etc

Your trying to get killed smfh you think they aint powerful they own scilly you live in mane land Italy and yes they have there own mafia and it effects all different aspects of life there

Interesting...watching replay in 2024...my son has been living in Germany for about 2 yrs now...finds the same things with the eggs and other groceries! I guess it is Europe in general. Wonderful that you started a new exciting life so young! my son is 30 this year and is an adventurer too! Great video!

They seem to be wine drinking rabble rousing connoisseurs

My permesso di soggiorno is ready but the collecting appointment is in the next nearly 3 weeks. Have you experience getting it before your appointment? Thank you so much. I am so stressed every time I have to contact Italian bureaucracy.😅

Yes 👌 coffee ☕️ is a biggie , oat milk not so much

Excellent information! Thank you so much!

Hi out of topic but I have my receipt of permesso di sogiorno renewal and I wanna go to Spain this summer . Is it possible? I did go to my origin country but I’m a bit unsure if I can travel this summer anywhere

Cool ~ hi from vancouver ~ on my way to umbria for the summer ☀️ ~ i went to school in italia and finally returned 35 years later ~ now i'm slowly transitioning to moving permanently. Your podcast is very interesting , way to go !

Hi, whose Birth certificate is required in case of spouse of Italian citizen

Hi Evelyn! Thanks so much for your video. I am actually planning on going to live in Torino in a few months and I was wondering if you are still around the area. I have been trying to find information about the rent prices and how to find a place to rent. I know from experience that renting something is a nightmare, at least that was the case when I was in Rome, but I want to know if maybe in Torino is a little bit easier???? Thanks :)

What I’m doing to start Manifesting my move to Italy: I speak French, and I just bought a fun book that compares grammar between the 2 languages. Super fun to geek out with grammar!😜

This video was soooo helpful!! Thank you!!

Thank you for the video!! Question, I won't have my own apartment within the first 8 days of arriving, do you think it's a problem to put the address of my Airbnb on the permesso kit?

crazy times - i was in umbria for 2 months last September/October - it was half the cost overall from milano and one quarter the cost from vancouver. It seems like everything is going up every day however i can hardly wait to return to italia - it's way better than north america where the only culture one can find is in the yogurt...

Lovely video and well thought out! Very grateful, ciao bella!

Hello I wanted to come and work in Italy. I need ur help pls

How does this work when applying for the freelance visa 🤔. I'm having trouble understanding when to apply since there is a fussi ( a time when it's open to apply). 🥴😫

Hey! Your videos are way too helpful💕💕💕 Keep going and more power to you Can you tell me where and how can i adopt a cat?

What’s the name pf that book?

Thank you!! Very helpful

Thanks for the amazing video. I have the receipt but the problem is my passport number (the last digit) is wrongly printed in the receipt. I am flying directly from my home country to Italy. Will that be a problem? Do they thoroughly check the receipt at immigration?

Thank you for video can I I choose automatic car test when I have test ?

Thanks! Love it!
