Yes, we are still in Italy. No, we don’t have our residency paperwork or the keys to our house yet. My solution to the uncertainty was to hop on a boat and go to an island. (being able to do things like that is a big part of why we decided to stay in Italy after Mark retired) I almost forgot about the stress and I definitely enjoyed being back in one of my favorite places for one of my favorite festivals. There were boats and fireworks and after beach day beers at Bar Tripoli and Maga Circe and impromptu spritzes with pals on gorgeous terraces.
Do you have questions about buying a house in Italy? I have some general advice but I only have my not quite finished experience in one city. My pal Thea has created FREE a three-day live event, How to Buy Your Dream Property in Italy. Click on the link to register.
