3 years in Pescara, Abruzzo. I am pleasently surprised by the niceness of the people. I had a 10min conversation with a guy about cheese in a supermarket at the deli, and he showed and recommended to me a bottle of wine that he will drink with it. Best day ever! ☺️
If you move somewhere and you want it to be like where you left don’t move. I hope someday is to live in Italy and I look forward to embrace all the good and the not so good. 💙🇺🇸🇮🇹
As for Expectations, I have little to None about moving to Italy. I Want to Experience the People, Culture, and Food in and around where My Great Grandparents lived in Greci, Italy.
It's a great way approach time abroad, to be educated.. but without too many expectations. Do you have plans for when specifically you'd like to make it out to Italy?
Fantastic content for a reality check on living in Italy. I have been seriously thinking about relocating to one of my family's ancestral communites. My father was from Fubine, Piedmont and my mother's family from Santa Venerina, Catania and Gratteri, Palermo. I have family still living in all 3 places and I have been researching what would be the best place given various variables of lifestyle. Visiting there and living there arer 2 separate things and I need to be sure about the long term / larger picture of each.
I'm brazilian and I got my Italian citizenship ius sanguinis like you. I currently live in the UK, can't complain about here (apart from the weather 😣) but my dream is to live in Italy. Loving your content, it helps me to improve my English with a subject that I really like it. Keep it up with the good job!
Thank you Christian! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos! And that it helps your English 😁 Out of curiosity, England seems to be a popular destination for Brazilians who go through the JS process. What in particular was the draw for you to choose England?
@@RafaelDiFuria Yes, you're right, in fact it really is a popular destination for us. Well, I'd say that the UK was my choice basically because of the language and the economical situation. It's not too complicated to "restart" the life here and it's a great country to live in. I found a job in just one day for example. And I knew that if I had stayed in Brazil or in Italy, I would never speak English. I'm thinking of moving to Italy next year, not sure yet.
That drink sounds....epic I wish more people realized that when you go to another country - visiting or moving - it’s obviously going to be different. If the goal is to relocate permanently, then adapting to that culture is important. That’s no matter what country someone is going to.
Drink? Sorry but haha I don’t remember mentioning a drink in this video... maybe I’m a bit out of it. But definitely, it’s too bad that’s the case, however, for a lot of first timers, there’s no way to know beforehand what to expect and not to expect the same as what they would find at home. The only way to learn is through experiences. Anyway long time no speak! Hope all has been well with you and the little one 😁

We've spent years overseas in different areas. But since 1993 we've spent almost 20 years in Germany (on and off). I think the part I like the best is that after being gone for almost 5 years not much had changed. What I really love is not having to worry about what's on the food. I love the public transportation. I'll miss the U-bahn when we move to Suedtirol. But I'll be closer to ski areas. I love that there are quiet hours. Then again, I'm in my mid-60's. BTW, if you want to meet people get a dog. That's how I've met most of my friends.
In Camposano close to NOLA. Looking forward to get better with Italian speaking as there is quite a strong dialect vs every lesson I learned. Getting familiar with the area and the streets. I am fortunate to have my wife and her family to guide me. I have been following you for quite a while prior to heading this way. Thanks for all you do!
Really? I’m almost surprised that you can’t find it there! There are no Italian owned pizzerias with that available? Interesting, I would have thought being on the same continent would make it easier to get. Well hopefully you make it back to the muthaland soon for your pizza bro! But is it possible to get a decent pizza at all where you are?
Hahahaha well good luck and enjoy 🤣 If you find it let me know how you like it I’m assuming you might more commonly see horse bresaola than the shredded meat that I was talking about in the video... but you can definitely find the shredded stuff in meat sections of a lot of supermarkets in some areas
You hit the nail on the nose...I always try to explain this to my friends when they comment on how I'm living in an "eternal vacation". I'm actually going to be starting a RUclips series called "EXPATations"
Anybody is more than welcome to message me, I can only say though that Patreon supporters messages don’t get lost in my emails. Sometimes I get a few hundred messages per month and unfortunately I can’t keep up with all of the messages I receive. But because of what the Patreon supporters of this channel do to help make these videos possible their messages are very much at the front of the line. But I try to get to as many of the questions in videos as I can that are not from patrons. But also I do offer private consulting/coaching for people who are looking for a bit more in depth personalized info about moving to Italy.
There is also a Starbucks that does "American" in Milan if I'm not wrong, in corso Garibaldi. But, having tried both Starbucks "lookalikes" in Italy (Arnold's coffee, for example) and "proper" Starbucks in Europe, I must say it *still isn't the same*. I suspect it's because of the different ingredients policy US and UE have, so syrups and spices are really not the same. Compared to America, they are... bland.
Really? I though it was just the one and the fakes that did the american style stuff... interesting. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to milan. Would love to go back at some point ^_^
It seems you mention looking for hardware stores in a lot of your videos. The thing about being in Italy that surprised me (I was there for about 5 or 6 months in total over the last 2 years) was people were not extremely friendly. Granted, I was in a small town in northern-ish Veneto but the - suspicion? hesitancy? - that I was treated with was a bit surprising. What was even more so was a simple act that I did that later I was told was just not done in that area; it was starting to rain and a family a couple doors down from where I was staying had their laundry outside. I went and knocked on their door and warned them (in my horrific Italian) that it was starting to rain. I was told later by the family I was staying with that no one does anything like that there. The family who had the laundry were casually friendly to me after that but the idea that no one did things like that was a bit unusual for me to grasp. As for the horse thing, I tried it once (to be polite) but told those offering it to me that it was culturally abhorrent to an American to eat horse and they were surprised but never pushed the issue again.
I was lucky enough to spend about 6 months in Italy (over 2 trips there in 2 years) to teach English. I have a much better idea of what to expect when I move there (which I plan to do in about a year or year-and-a-half). Do I know everything I can expect? No, of course not. I run into unexpected things even here in the U.S. after living here almost all my life. But I know that it will all be a learning experience and I accept that.
Great video, Rafael! You made me so hungry! For me nothing more delicious than rabbit and polenta. I also enjoy tripe, but ,of course I grew up with these kinds of foods and there is nothing strange about them. It's hilarious when you refer to the USA as "the old country"! I suppose many americans heard that phrase referring to Italy. I loved the Mr Ed sequence as well . On a scale between 1 and 10, this video was 100 ! Complimenti!
I know exactly what you mean. I lived in Japan for 2 years and absolutely loved it. I embraced the differences from America. I tried basashi in Japan (horse sushi). Many of my other foreign co-workers hated living in Japan and could not wait to go home.
I’ve heard of this and have heard a lot of good things about it... not sure if I’d ever be able to eat it, but the equivalent with beef, ohhh definitely! Did you have it raw or cooked? And that’s awesome that your really embraced what was there!
It was raw. If you did not think about it, it was delicious. I love your channel. Keep up the good work. My wife and I have visited Florence, Rome and Venice, Italy. We are considering buying a small condo in Florence for retirement in 10 years or so. We loved Italy.
I liked the reality check. I've never lived abroad. I can relate to it, however. I moved a lot growing up. Even different cities can have issues like that. And, missing the things and foods from younger days somewhere else still get so me.
By the way, when I visited Figline Valderno in culinary school, I had a suspicious "hamburger" in a British and Mexican pub. Not sure what it could have been, and wondered if horse was a possibility at the time.
The only thing I really miss is Mexican food. I have been told there is a good restaurant in Paris. I'm being very chatty tonight. You have to find an English store to get real cheddar. Let me know if you're ever in Stuttgart. My husband makes the best hamburgers ever. LOL, I can't eat horse. Rabbit I can eat. We had an incident like that with tripe when we first got here. I was in Worms before, and innards weren't a thing. The dog liked it.
Haha ooo this is a tricky one, I’m partial to american mild cheddar, but would definitely settle for an English cheddar haha Will be sure to let you know!
I would not eat that pizza either. Leave those horses alone! I hope you will do another cooking video at some point, maybe eggplant parmesan, something like that.
It's all about perspective though, many people here see horses the same was as many people see cows. But definitely would have never knowingly ordered it and would never make that mistake twice haha And sure I've been thinking about it, I've actually never made that before as I'm not such a big fan of eggplant, but let's see, I'm sure I can figure something out at some point ^_^
Every time I travel abroad with my family, my brothers and I have a tradition to get 5 Guys since we missed the taste of burgers so much. So I understand how you feel XD
Rafael Di Furia I classify 5 Guys as one of those fast food places which you love so much in the moment but regret eating hours afterwards. It’s worth it if you’re ever back in the USA
Looking at your Facebook and Instagram pics it appears you are always alone, which I find strange as someone who makes himself so available on social media. Im curios what your social life is like or do you actually spend most your time alone (which I would totally understand in this world that is getting stranger by the day)
Thank you for sharing your very interesting thoughts, you're quite observant. I actually decided to respond to your comment in my most recent video :) here's the link: ruclips.net/video/3WtkGVi5F4U/видео.html
The word “immigrant” is so strongly avoided by Europeans Australias and North Americans when referring to themselves. “Expat” is the replacement and “immigrant” is reserved for black or brown people. The word “foreigner” was chosen alternative but “immigrant” (a world so heavily used by Americans) seems so foreign when referring to yourselves creating difference/superiority for being the exact same thing. Unconscious stuff. I wonder how many hits/likes you’d get if you replaced the word expat with immigrant on the titile and ever time you used it. Not your fault obvs just a sad observation.
Are you sure that place where you had pizza with horse meat was italian? I never once in my life heard about anything like that.... It actually sounds rather american to me 😅
I’ve never seen horse meat available in the U.S., I’ve never heard of any Americans consuming horse meat… but in Italy I regularly saw it available at supermarkets… and yes I’m definitely sure of where I was, I was living in Italy at the time and it wasn’t the only location I’ve ever seen horse available on pizza. Although I won’t say it’s something I’ve seen often.
With all due respect, you confuse. Sure, it Starbucks brings you so much joy why on earth would you move ? Then my next thought is 'are you kidding me?' I have experienced Italian coffee, and the gelato. lol Not only Italy, common courtesy and basic respect is noticed in other countries in which I am a guest. No, it wont work with everyone, I like to get a smile or a laugh, even a few basic words of the language does show respect. Yes, it is an unknown. Just how different everyday life would be is unknown. I have been spoiled with La Dolce Vita. Thank you, yes it's good to know I really should not get upset if I have to wait a bit longer for customer service. Um, I hope your beautiful Friday nights happen more often.
Ive been watching a few Italian movies and tv shows lately and Ive noticed that when Italian men who are friends greet each other they kiss each other on both cheeks, not just a peck on the cheek but an actually kissing sound is made. Ive lived in Mexico where men greet women by kissing them on the cheek (which I liked a lot), but I cant handle the idea of kissing a man. Is this very common in Italy? Is it considered rude to refuse to kiss men in Italy?
tomas aldente Interesting.... but I think really anybody would be after a few months of lockdown 😅 I really mean no offense to anyone from Utah, I’m sure it can be a wonderful place to live. But if I were someone who is bored and trying to make life more interesting I honestly have to say Utah wouldn’t be my first place that I would think about to remedy that situation 😆 I’ve heard some great things about it but I honestly couldn’t ever imagine myself going back and forth anywhere across the Atlantic, firstly the costs involved, then with the current situation on top... on top I very much dislike flying. Maybe for some people it could work, but I don’t think I’m one of them.
You are soooooo funny to listen to. You're Italian and you don't cook? Why not? Especially with the need for you to show the millions you're surrounded by "how it's done". Why don't you whip up (or learn to whip up) some knock your socks off burgers and tacos and pass "em out for free to neighboring Italians. Invite them over for a "taste of America" or go out to a park and pass them out 'til the cops come by and say you can't do that, then offer the cops some good burgers as well. I once saw a you tube video of some American students in Sweden and one of the girls was from San Diego and she went on to "teach" the Swedes she had met just what a burrito is and how to make one. They LOVED it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't know how to make a good burger and a good taco, go on line and teach yourself til you get the taste just right. You have a kitchen don't you?. American pizzas and spaghetti with meatballs I would assume came about from Italians freezing their rear ends off in New York, New Jersey and Chicago after leaving behind their Mediterranean, easy on the body, climate and having to nourish their now shivering bodies in the "New Land". I am sooooooooo looking forward to videos of yours showing us how "a crazy good burger" is made !!!!!!!!!!!! Heck, with all that good Italian bread, why don't you make some really good pizza breads loaded with some of your very own home made pizza sauce and home made Italian sausage that you taught yourself how to make after "tweaking" some recipes you found online? Could you imagine getting the Italians in your new city "hooked" on your burgers, tacos, pizza bread and spaghetti and meatballs? That would be a riot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, roll up your sleeves and get to work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...............as me and the rest of your you tube fans are all waiting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .......................and drooling ....................... naw........................... joking aside........................ I'd LOVE to see what you can create right there in Italy...........................................good luck and HAVE FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .......... and upload your cooking experiences and creations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........................... as I mentioned, your fans can't wait !!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOUR VIDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Please send rapists, murderers, and traitors to Siberia one way. Harvest the organs. I have so much RESPECT for people , who work hard , do not beg, and help non- beggars help themselves. YOU DID IT!! We better stop, or God will stop it all for good. Your arms are too short to box with God. Just behave!!! Please check the poverty and the prisons, where you want to move, before you move.
I'm moving to Faenza in 2 weeks! Your videos made me more and more sure about my decision! Thank you so much
Hey there! Good luck with your move!!!
Curious to hear how it goes.
If I might ask, what was it that drew you to that place?
3 years in Pescara, Abruzzo. I am pleasently surprised by the niceness of the people. I had a 10min conversation with a guy about cheese in a supermarket at the deli, and he showed and recommended to me a bottle of wine that he will drink with it. Best day ever! ☺️

Your comment about burgers is very similar to how I feel about U.S. "gelato." It is just not the same, not by a long shot.
New to the south of Italy but I hear that there is a big difference between south and north.
Welcome to Italy!
There’s definitely a huuuuuuge difference!
Where did you end up?
In Camposano close to NOLA. Looking forward to get better with Italian speaking as there is quite a strong dialect vs every lesson I learned. Getting familiar with the area and the streets. I am fortunate to have my wife and her family to guide me. I have been following you for quite a while prior to heading this way. Thanks for all you do!
Pizza con straccetti di cavallo, i would kill for one... it is just a taboo here in northern Europe.
Really? I’m almost surprised that you can’t find it there! There are no Italian owned pizzerias with that available? Interesting, I would have thought being on the same continent would make it easier to get.
Well hopefully you make it back to the muthaland soon for your pizza bro!
But is it possible to get a decent pizza at all where you are?
"When in Rome.." is a saying for a reason.
Absolutely!!
I accidentally cut out a section of the video where I mentioned exactly that!
Great minds think alike 😜
Marcus Aurelius.
Currently living in Italy. My new goal, find me some horse pizza! So down with that
Hahahaha well good luck and enjoy 🤣
If you find it let me know how you like it
I’m assuming you might more commonly see horse bresaola than the shredded meat that I was talking about in the video... but you can definitely find the shredded stuff in meat sections of a lot of supermarkets in some areas
When I moved to Italy, I was pleasantly surprised to learn about Il Passagiato.
You hit the nail on the nose...I always try to explain this to my friends when they comment on how I'm living in an "eternal vacation".

I think he's talking a bout tacos I've lived in Milan for 15+ years and no place comes close to the $2.50 carnitas from the states
So, you need to do your research before moving somewhere. Makes sense.
This guy is like a cross between wolf man jack and Thirston Howell III

Ive lived in Mexico where men greet women by kissing them on the cheek (which I liked a lot), but I cant handle the idea of kissing a man. Is this very common in Italy? Is it considered rude to refuse to kiss men in Italy?
Dude...Don't take this wrong, but I will bet your living in Utah in 2021....
🤔 I’m very much curious why you think so?
@@RafaelDiFuria You seem restless, bored maybe. I wouldn't be surprised if you go back and forth for a while.

Interesting.... but I think really anybody would be after a few months of lockdown 😅
I really mean no offense to anyone from Utah, I’m sure it can be a wonderful place to live. But if I were someone who is bored and trying to make life more interesting I honestly have to say Utah wouldn’t be my first place that I would think about to remedy that situation 😆
I’ve heard some great things about it but I honestly couldn’t ever imagine myself going back and forth anywhere across the Atlantic, firstly the costs involved, then with the current situation on top... on top I very much dislike flying. Maybe for some people it could work, but I don’t think I’m one of them.
You are soooooo funny to listen to. You're Italian and you don't cook? Why not? Especially with the need for you to show the millions you're surrounded by "how it's done". Why don't you whip up (or learn to whip up) some knock your socks off burgers and tacos and pass "em out for free to neighboring Italians. Invite them over for a "taste of America" or go out to a park and pass them out 'til the cops come by and say you can't do that, then offer the cops some good burgers as well. I once saw a you tube video of some American students in Sweden and one of the girls was from San Diego and she went on to "teach" the Swedes she had met just what a burrito is and how to make one. They LOVED it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't know how to make a good burger and a good taco, go on line and teach yourself til you get the taste just right. You have a kitchen don't you?. American pizzas and spaghetti with meatballs I would assume came about from Italians freezing their rear ends off in New York, New Jersey and Chicago after leaving behind their Mediterranean, easy on the body, climate and having to nourish their now shivering bodies in the "New Land". I am sooooooooo looking forward to videos of yours showing us how "a crazy good burger" is made !!!!!!!!!!!! Heck, with all that good Italian bread, why don't you make some really good pizza breads loaded with some of your very own home made pizza sauce and home made Italian sausage that you taught yourself how to make after "tweaking" some recipes you found online? Could you imagine getting the Italians in your new city "hooked" on your burgers, tacos, pizza bread and spaghetti and meatballs? That would be a riot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, roll up your sleeves and get to work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...............as me and the rest of your you tube fans are all waiting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .......................and drooling ....................... naw........................... joking aside........................ I'd LOVE to see what you can create right there in Italy...........................................good luck and HAVE FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .......... and upload your cooking experiences and creations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........................... as I mentioned, your fans can't wait !!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOUR VIDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
