Understand if Italy is right for you
Get the lay of the land — cost of living, healthcare quality, visa options, and what daily life actually looks like for Americans abroad.
Figure out which visa fits your situation
Elective Residency, Digital Nomad, Autonomo, Investor, Family, Jure Sanguinis — each path has different requirements, timelines, and trade-offs.
Understand what leaving the U.S. actually involves
Tax residency, selling your home, Medicare gaps, retirement account access, state exit rules. The U.S. side of moving abroad is where most people stumble.
Go deeper on the stuff that matters to you

Get the books if you want the full picture
