Start here

Considering moving to Italy or getting your passport? Here’s how to begin.

If you’re here, Italy has likely moved beyond being an idea.

You’re no longer just asking where —
you’re trying to understand how this actually works.

That’s where most people get stuck.

There are multiple pathways — citizenship, visas, residency — and then everything that comes after that: where to base yourself, how to approach a visit, and how to make the move in a way that actually holds together.

This is where we come in. I handle the relocation side — how your move actually works in practice.

Alongside me is Valentina, my Italian citizenship lawyer, who manages all legal pathways across Italy.

A clear way to approach your move

Moving to Italy isn’t one decision.
It’s a sequence.

For most people, that starts with understanding their legal position and then spending time in Italy to understand where and how they actually want to live.

Only after that does it make sense to plan the move in detail.

Step 1 — Clarity

Clarity Call. A focused 30-minute call to understand your situation and what’s possible.

We look at:

  • whether you may be eligible for Italian citizenship

  • visa and residency options

  • how your move would realistically work

  • what your next steps should be

If there’s a potential legal pathway, we’ll guide you toward a consultation with Valentina for detailed legal advice.

For most people, this is the starting point.

Step 2 — Legal pathway (if applicable)

Legal consultation with Valentina

If citizenship or a visa pathway applies to you, this is where the legal side is properly assessed.

Valentina manages:

  • citizenship by descent (including 1948 cases)

  • visa and residency pathways

  • legal applications and processes across Italy

This step ensures everything is approached correctly from the outset — before you commit time, travel, or money in the wrong direction.

Step 3 — Visiting Italy before you move

Most people come to Italy before committing to a move.
How you use that time makes a significant difference.

Option 1 — Preview Puglia.

A fully designed, multi-day scouting experience (minimum 3 nights)

For those who want this properly structured.

Preview Puglia brings everything together — from where to go and how to approach each area, through to accommodation, logistics, and time on the ground with local guidance.

Designed in collaboration with Kayla from Storia Travel Club, it’s designed to give you a clear, realistic understanding of what living here actually looks like without trying to piece it together yourself.

Option 2 — Visit independently (with guidance)

One or two days of on-the-ground guidance

If you’d prefer to plan your trip mostly yourself with as little or as much input from us as you want, you can add Puglia Immersion — flexible, on-the-ground support tailored to your needs.

This might be a single meeting with Stefanie while you’re here, or one or two days working through specific areas together, questions, or next steps.

Step 4 — Planning your move

Relocation Planning Session

Once you’ve spent time in Italy and have a clearer sense of direction, we map out your move in practical terms.

This includes:

  • timing and where you want to live (Puglia, Bologna, Verona - or anywhere else in Italy)

  • housing approach

  • administrative steps

  • how everything fits together

This is where the move becomes structured.

Step 5 — Making the move

From there, we support you through relocation and settling into life in Italy.

This can include:

  • coordinating timelines

  • preparing documentation

  • navigating local systems

  • and getting set up once you arrive

Not sure where you fit?

That’s completely normal.

How we work

Every move is different.

Some clients need only legal support.
Some need relocation planning.
Many need both.

We structure everything around your situation —
so the process is clear from the outset.
