Description
Salviamo i casoni di Marano Lagunare https://gofund.me/1a7235b0b Purtroppo c'è pochissimo tempo: dobbiamo farcela entro il 15.05.2026. Aiutaci a salvare i Casoni della Laguna di Marano, un patrimonio storico, culturale e ambientale inestimabile che oggi rischia di essere privatizzato per sempre. Come molti di voi avranno letto nelle recenti cronache, i nostri amati Casoni di Marano Lagunare (inclusi alcuni terreni sensibili come l'Isola della Marinaretta) sono finiti all'asta presso il Tribunale di Udine. Questa triste situazione è la diretta conseguenza del recente fallimento di una cooperativa locale. Oggi, con prezzi a base d'asta che partono da cifre irrisorie - paragonabili al costo di un garage in città - queste strutture storiche rischiano di finire nelle mani di privati per essere trasformate in esclusive case vacanza. Se non interveniamo, perderemo l'accesso e la memoria di un luogo unico al mondo. Cosa stiamo difendendo Non si tratta di semplici lotti di terra. I casoni, con i loro inconfondibili tetti alti e spioventi fatti di canne e paglia, sono l'anima della nostra laguna: La Tradizione: Per secoli hanno dato rifugio a generazioni di pescatori, rappresentando un simbolo di resilienza e di vita in perfetta simbiosi con l'acqua salmastra. La Cultura: Questa oasi di pace e silenzio ha affascinato artisti e intellettuali, ispirando profondamente il Premio Nobel Ernest Hemingway per il suo celebre romanzo "Di là dal fiume e tra gli alberi". L'Ecosistema: Sono immersi
Living in Marano Lagunare
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.

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.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
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.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
