About Florence
A small, walkable Renaissance jewel that draws Americans with its art, architecture, and Tuscan food culture. The city has a strong study-abroad tradition that feeds a visible English-speaking community, but housing is tight and rents are high for the city's size. Italian language skills matter for daily life, and the tourist crowds in summer can make the historic center feel more like a theme park than a hometown.

What American expats need to know about Italy
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.
Cost of Living
30-50% less than US major cities. Southern Italy and smaller cities (€1,200-1,800/mo) are very affordable; Milan and Rome cost more but still undercut NYC/SF.
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.
Life in Italy
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.
