Description
ORTE - Nella splendida cornice del centro storico di Orte, in posizione dominante, proponiamo in vendita il nobile Palazzo "Volpe", iconica dimora storica risalente al sec. XVI-XVII, unica nel suo genere. Realizzata nel 1524 per ordine della famiglia del Cardinale ortano Ferdinando Nuzzi, la prestigiosa residenza è stata trasformata ed ampliata nei successivi secoli ad opera delle famiglie nobiliari che nel frattempo si sono succedute al suo interno (tra le quali la famiglia Lanza Filangieri). Il palazzo è ricco di fascino autentico e presenta ancora oggi inestimabili elementi originari perfettamente conservati, come i preziosi affreschi (ad opera della scuola di Andrea Pozzo) che ricoprono porte, pareti e soffitti a cassettoni, pavimenti originali nonché finiture di pregio e dettagli dell'epoca. Caratteristico il salone di entrata, ove ci accoglie un grande stemma nobiliare, per poi entrare nel cuore della dimora in cui, tra le tante bellezze presenti, spiccano le proiezioni di colonne magistralmente dipinte sulle pareti; vi è inoltre il "salone del camino", nel quale quest'ultimo ne fa da padrone per la sua bellezza ed autenticità, sala altresì impreziosita dalle colonne salomoniche rappresentate su tutte le pareti con all'interno dei grotteschi originali dell'epoca. Questa storica costruzione risulta straordinariamente luminosa grazie all'altezza dei soffitti ed alle belle aperture delle finestre, le quali consentono di godere di scorci unici sul contesto circostante.

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.
