Hi,

I posted on this forum a couple of days ago and I would like to know if there麓s anyone that can help me with some information regarding a move to either Milano o Torino.聽 I麓ve been living and working in Madrid, Spain, for almost 6 years and am very seriously considering a move to Italy.聽 I am from the US and also have a EU passport so moving around within the EU is no problem, bureaucratically speaking.聽

I would appreciate getting in contact with people living in Milan and/or Torino.

Regards to all.

Beata

Hey all,

New to this forum. I鈥檓 a US art student, currently聽 taking couple of long-term courses in 2 art academies in Florence and聽 hoping to get this fall into a 3-year undergrad program in the academy of fine arts of Venice or Florence (Venice is my 1st choice*).

My 1-year visa expires in Sept. I hope I can get a renewal, so I鈥檓 able to do my 3-year degree here in Italy. I wonder if that鈥檚 possible, or if I have to go back to the States and redo the whole application process for the new 3-year program.

Hi all, e buon giorno

We are 'senior Dutch folks' and bought a partly restructured house in Umbria 3 years ago and have been working to get it finished until now.
Unfortunately some scum broke into it last month and set fire to the furniture on the ground floor, which has been rendered uninhabitable for now. In my search for protection systems, and other's experiences, I found this forum.

We are here to enjoy a quiet country life for the last stage of our life..... but even in Umbria that seems difficult ;-)

But we won't give up, so here we are...... wishing everybody a great time in this beautiful country, and more luck than we had so far :-)

Hey everyone!
I'm an artist moving to Venice. I'm hoping to take some classes in printmaking, and in the meantime I'd love to find a job as an English tutor, a translator, a guide, or any kind of art job. I'm open to anything! I'd also be down to meet some cool people.

I dont think you have to go back to states for that if you get enrolled further you can get your residence permit extended till that period.

Hi,

I'm Flavio.

I'm Italian and just moved back in Italy (Rome) after many years abroad.

I live in Viale Marconi.

Feeling a bit lost and wishing to keep in touch with Expats that I find more open and close to my mind setting while continuing to learn and practice English, French and Arabic. Open to learn new cultures and languages respecting ways to be, religions and creeds.

Get in touch even just for a chat, an aperitive or a cofee.

Best wishes, cheers Flavio.

Hi all, my wife and I are from South Africa, living about 10km from Assisi near a paese called Collemancio, fraz. Cannara.

We spend 2 months in Italy, then 2 months in South Africa, as we still have several business there.

We are restoring an old farmhouse in the countryside, our second house in Italy, sold the previous one in the Deruta area a few years ago.

Our Italian is still a work in progress, so would love to make contact with English or Dutch speaking expats in the Perugia area.

Nico & Santa.

Hi,

I'm Liat and I'm from Ireland and Canada (Dublin and Toronto). I've returned to Italy and will be moving to Turin later this month (May).
I'm looking for an apartment in the city and am happy to share with a professional, either Italian or expat and preferably someone who is independent and active.
It's nice to meet everyone and hope to get something organised once I'm settled.

Hello! My husband and I are both from the United States. We have read through this forum for quite awhile (we've been planning a move to Italy for years), but as we enter into the paperwork and moving phase, I figured it'd be good to introduce myself! We'll be moving to Rome once everything's in order (likely by the end of the year). I've learned a lot from people so far, looking forward to getting to know others here!
