Default Permanent relocation to Italy?

I would love to hear from anyone who has permanently relocated to Tuscany.
Anything you can offer me from you experience would be greatly appreciated.

Have you moved, or is this still a future activity for you?

A book you may want to read is Under the Tuscan Sun. Thoroughly enjoyable account by an American woman who bought an old home in Tuscany and renovated it.

Default Book suggestion

Thanks for that, I'll look around. Have you moved yet? How did it go?

Hi
Yes we have moved to Tuscany near Bagni Di Lucca in March this year. Everything going fine but beware Italian Red Tape.

Unhappy Issues

Red tape is a problem, but the flip side is that they do not stress out as much as we have become used to doing.
However, have you tried getting a job yet? That's when the frustration sets in. I'm a truck driver with over 11 years experience. But over here, all the adverts openly declare they will consider only Italian nationals. EU regs do not apply, I've checked!

Default Permanent Move

I made the move 8 years ago and for all the wonderful things one can say about Italy - the red tape is a nightmare. I am afraid that reading Under the Tuscan Sun won't help you - you need to get sound advice and if it means paying for it, do it. My home page might be start but there are many places to get information. Do your homework.

Hello Chukkie and all,
I am thinking of moving to Italy in a year or so. Could you tell me a bit more about the red tape nightmare there? Is it about work? or Tax or...?
How can we get more information? Where to start ? Your help and advices on this will be greatly appreciated.
