Description

Carrara, Zona Fossola - Immagina di arrivare al tramonto, quando la luce arancione accarezza i tetti di coppi e il profumo di terra e mare si mescola nell'aria. Davanti a te si apre una casa color corallo, calda come un abbraccio antico, con posto auto privato dove parcheggiare comodamente. L'ingresso al piano terra è ideale per diventare il tuo rifugio, uno spazio che aspetta solo la tua impronta. Qui c'è la possibilità di creare un secondo bagno, grazie a una stanza con allacci già presenti, così potrai trasformare il pianterreno in una spaziosa taverna con il suo ingresso separato, ideale per accogliere ospiti, oppure in un funzionale deposito per lo stoccaggio di materiali o oggetti ingombranti. Al primo piano, accessibile tramite scala interna, o dal portoncino principale, ti accoglie un cucinotto abitabile con dettagli in pietra e una finestra che incornicia le colline come un quadro vivente. Un piccolo disimpegno accompagna al servizio igienico finestrato, raccolto ma molto funzionale.

Living in Carrara

Espresso at the bar every morning, pasta made the way your grandmother wished she could, and a culture that treats every meal, every sunset, and every conversation as something worth lingering over.

Visa

Digital Nomad Visa — requires remote work for foreign clients/employers, min €28,000/yr net income, and 6 months work experience. Valid 1 year, renewable. Elective Residence Visa — for retirees and those with passive income (€31,000/yr minimum, no work allowed). Both offer a path to long-term residency.

Key Fact

Italy launched its digital nomad visa in 2024, making it much easier for remote workers than the old elective residence route. Italian bureaucracy is notoriously slow (3-6 months processing), so patience and a good immigration lawyer are essential.

Next steps for moving to Italy

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
