How to compare benefits of living in Italy vs France?! I love both cultures, the foods, the people and the weather of course… But what about real life? Friends, really fast Internet, economy, cost of living, good water in the tap water of the houses? access to hobbies, sports, openness to Swedes? Co-working as a programmer / actor writer with Italians vs French people? Renting a small house with garden? Rights to have a dog? Camping and hiking rights with your dog between France and Italy? Thanks for the video, I just found you when looking for a bit different video of living in Italy!
sarebbe un ministro, quindi un ruolo di fatto politico, che farebbe effettivamente quello per cui viene pagato. Mi sembra una esagerazione, cioè, stiamo calmi.
I love the churches of Bologna. Would you be willing to do a church focused video of Bologna with the masterpieces of San Dominico, San Francesco, Il duomo??
I'd love to (and I've tried to before), but sadly it's very difficult to film inside due to the lack of good light.. but I will as soon as I have special equipment! I'm very passionate about the artworks located in Italian churches as well ❤️
BTW, thank you for your candor in addressing of life's dimensions--friendships, cost, the downsides, whether you would be a good 'fit' or not. Excellent.
Stuart don't give up. I found I have an Irish grandmother. It took a while especially with Covid (2 years) to get my Irish citizenship. My passport is arriving on the 16/02/2022. See you in Italy.
You are awesome and everything you say is spot on! Oh I live in Italy part time on and off and it’s all true. I’m also genetically half Italian and of 66 yrs. and I am my high school weight 108. Yet anyone can be their best weight at any age; may not be easy. Even the Europeans ask me why I am not heavy. The reason I say this is for health reasons. (I’m also aware it’s impolite to discuss weight yet overweight can be a liability at times.) I go for a simpler lifestyle that suits me. I am healthier in Italy .
Thank you so much for you message! I loved hearing a little bit of your story and I'm really happy to hear you have an opportunity to live a happy and healthy life in Italy! Best of lucks ❤️
Hi I'm new to your channel and I started watching your videos very interesting. I'm moving to Italy once I'm 18 to study university 3 more years and I can go there. Any tips on the language and do you think it is good to move at age 18 to Italy 🥰 and also I'm bringing my dog so can dogs go anywhere there?
Thank you so much! This is so exciting - and I think 18 is a perfect age to move here. I'm sure you're going to love it ❤️ don't worry about the dogs, they're very much loved in Italy! As for the language, check out this video of mine where I go more in-depth about the topic ruclips.net/video/PnE8ThW6Xl4/видео.html Best of lucks!🥰
This video is really amazing! The reasons which you have mentioned are significant for the people who think to live in or move to Italy. Really get bored of all sort of youtube videos where mentioned about the typical reasons, climate, pizza, aperatives, museums and so on. Come on, this is not real Italy !
Are you in Bologna? I'll be there for 2 ½ weeks in November 2021, could use your insights. Your videos are authentic and intelligent. I've been thinking about spending at least several months a year in Italy each year, most likely in Turin, but Bologna is a favorite; I'm returning for an extended visit for the third time.
Italy is (was) my dream but Brexit put paid to that. For those wishing to visit Italy I highly recommend Bologna as a great base to branch out from. Appreciate your videos. 😀
That's two of us, I go there as much as I can tho, Bologna is gonna be my next trip! Last yeas I went to San Remo, Rome and Turin, fell in love with the latter.
@@LC76182 Hi Lara, I am off to Torino at the weekend. Hope I like it as much as you did. Recently revisited Venezia and Padova, followed by Rimini, Ravenna and San Marino. 👍
I am guessing that this street is in Bologna. Because of the reddish stone. It is so distinctly different from architecture in Rome or Florence. One thing: I would not encourage people to be habitually tardy. Maybe that is true in Italy but I don't think that being late as a rule is a good thing.
Watched your video about what to know before moving to Italy and all you said was Italy will not make one happy and one must love oneself and one’s own country before expecting life to be better somewhere else. All true, but I wanted specific details, not a psychology lesson. I have lived for short periods in Germany, England, Canada and for several years in Mexico and Colombia. All of those countries have much to offer. However, while they might be good places to live and work for short periods of your life, very few Americans will be happier spending their lives in foreign countries. Ask yourself if life in other countries is worth risking your life to get there. I doubt Americans would say it is. Almost everyone wants to go to the US, not just poor people, but many professionals who are already successful in their home countries. The poor face many hardships and life threatening situations to come to America; yet they come because life in their countries is impossible and a better life is worth the risks. Moving to a different part of the US will probably solve one’s problems; moving to a foreign country will not.
Yes, there is logic in that statement, but is not due to unfriendly people as a general concept (although there are a few rough ones). The main reason is culture shock, not being able to mingle specially without the language up to par. Then you have the fact that Italians speak loud and you think they are fighting, but they are not, also, they are blunt but sincere and loyal friends, its a matter of cultural differences. I'm kind of backwards on this, born and raised in Rome, now living in the US, rough patches is always a sure thing in the beginning, but we are very open and like strangers when they integrate into the "Dolce Vita". Planing to go back and retire very soon in Italy to spend my last years with family, but I really love the USA.
@@marcoss6212 Would you say there is a bit of xenophobia against people from 3rd world countries ? I have a connection to italian culture and after getting my portuguese citizenship I' consider moving there but I heard a fellow brazilian say he felt a bit discriminated against.

@@marcelocardoso1507 Yes, they get discriminated by a few people until they get to know you.

Hello, I would like to go to Italy for 2-3 months with my family (7 people). We would especially like to start getting to know this beautiful country. If anyone can tell me where we should start and how can we do it with such a large family? Me and my wife had tickets to Italy for a few days in March 2020 but in February all flights were canceled :( - ps. greate video
Hi, thank you for your comment! It really depends on whether you have small kids, as Italy is best discovered on foot and walking really long distances might be tiring for them. Anyway, I'd recommend you a nice mix of bigger cities (if it's your first time here) and smaller towns/natural reserves. You can also rent a van and go on a road trip, the roads are excellent and you'll get to see many places that are hard to reach otherwise. Check out my travel videos to get some idea of the various destinations, I don't think you'll have any problems with a big family, just make sure to book your table in advance if you're planning to go to the restaurant for lunch or (especially) dinner. Fun parks, such as Mirabilandia or Gardaland are excellent for a family outing, too.

I'm really sorry to hear that. The past two years, considering the pandemic, have been really tough. I'm sure better days are coming for you ❤️ Please, consider talking to someone you trust about how you feel!
I love my country, and there are lots of things I miss (its healthcare, schools for my kids, food, the beauty...). But I have no idea where this work life balance you talk about comes from, Italy is the place I've worked more (long hours, weekends) for less money. Salaries are low, and you are often overworked and exploited by your boss...
Suggesting all Italians are very friendly and welcoming is seriously misleading. There are places where people are closed and not welcoming such as Florence.
Italy is in a state of dictatorship right now, violating the geneva convention of human rights. Nobody in their right mind would want to live there right now but to protest. The tyrants will fall and pay the highest price for their conceit. Power to the people.
An health emergency with the aim to preserve life has been widely accepted by the Italians, as mature enough to understand the reasons between the extreme measures. There has not been a coup d'etat.
How does the tax system works, for example in the UK you pay 20%- 40%- 60% tax depending on your salary. I would love to move there but not sure what job could I get with a BA Fine Art.

Daughter just moved there to go to grad school at the University of Bologna. Love Bologna, and can’t wait to go back to visit!
Best of luck to your daughter! I'm sure she's going to love it ❤️
everybody is just running to italy because it is the best
Very nice that you don't only talk about food but also about love and sense of community (in other video). Interesting and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!❤️

Aperitifs are, but generally, I agree with you! It is always Florence-Rome-Amalfi Coast that gets all the attention
