Here's a quick walk-through of the country house I bought in Piedmont Italy. It gives a good depiction of a typical country house, or cascina, that you can buy here. Check out our website at www.housefinde....

Nothing “wrong” with using exposed wiring, in fact it is somewhat “steampunk”, which makes the look conducive to an older architectural example. You did a great job! Cheers 🥂

Lovely! Couple of questions: 1. How does the pellet stove in the dining room push heat into the kitchen and living room? 2. Are the windows double glazed and do they need to be for good insulation? 3. Is there an earthquake history in this region? Is that part of the reason for the supporting iron bars? 4. Did you have lots of renovation experience prior to moving to Italy? 5. Do you speak Italian?
@lorellacurione21103 жыл бұрын
Dear Lady, no we do not have an earthquake history in Piemonte. Northwest Italy Is not used to earthquakes . Best regards Lorella
@housefindersnorthernitaly3 жыл бұрын
Hi Annalie. The stove has vents. Some of our windows are double glazed - it improves the insulation but we also kept a lot of the original windows that aren't. As Lorella advises below, Piedmont is not an earthquake zone. The bars are more to support and keep the stone walls in place.

I Lovett, lol, your home is perfectly done..not over the top, so I think! I am American as well and am considering this location with my husband and two small children ages 4 and 5. I know that speaking the language is a big factor, and with that said did you have to learn Italian before you made the move or ? My boys are learning Spanish at the moment in their preschool so hopefully 🙏 they'll pick up on Italian easily!

Absolutely. This house was in the same family since it was build, starting in the 1800's. The current grandmother and grandfather owned a prestigious hotel in Torino and used this as only a summer home. During WWII, the family hid people from the Nazis in our cantina!

Hi Anna. When you are a resident here - meaning you have your Permesso di Soggiorno, you can apply for the National Healthcare System. Until then, you would need to find your own private insurer - there are lots of companies that provide this, search online for expat insurance Italy.

Hello Lisa- most of your videos about moving to Italy are for non Italian decent people- but are there any difference for American Italians with direct first generation family members from Italy?
@housefindersnorthernitaly2 жыл бұрын
Hi Janice, If you can attain citizenship through lineage, moving to Italy is definitely a different process. If you don't have citizenship, there may be advantages to being first generation - but we are not experienced in or able to comment on that process. There are a lot of professional resources online that offer advice on this route.
