The Italy Move Insider

Newsletter Archive

Every issue, in one place. Catch up, revisit, or start from the very beginning.

The Italy Move Insider is a monthly newsletter for people who are seriously thinking about — or actively planning — a move to Italy. Each issue covers the real stuff: visa news, tax policies, regional spotlights, reader questions, and the kind of on-the-ground detail that doesn't show up in a Google search. No fluff, no filler — just clear, practical information delivered with a little dolce vita on the side.

June 2026

June is the month Italy stops promising and starts delivering. The visa portal is finally live, the Republic turns 80, and the Court of Cassation's "minor issue" ruling could land any day — reshaping thousands of citizenship cases overnight. If your move is happening this year, this is the issue to read twice.
