There’s no shortage of information about moving to Italy. Blogs, forums, social media, AI. But information is only the beginning.
AI can give you the basics. It can’t replace the experience of knowing how the process actually works, what applies to you, what needs to happen when, and how each decision affects the next.
We do. So before you spend another year trying to piece it together yourself, let us show you your way forward.
.
We don’t just talk about moving to Italy. We help people do it every day. Your plan is built from the experience of successfully helping thousands of people make the move.
This is not a 20-page report you’ll never read. It’s a clear, personalized plan that tells you what matters for your move, what doesn’t, and what to do next and when.
You don’t need to become an expert in moving to Italy. That’s our job.
Then you have something incredibly valuable on your side: time.
You don’t need to apply for a visa, find a house or have every detail figured out today.
But you can know what you’re working toward.
Your Personalized Move to Italy Plan will show you what matters now, what can wait, and the important milestones ahead, so you can use the next few years intentionally instead of starting from scratch when moving day suddenly feels very close.
✓ Understand your path to living in Italy
✓ Know the financial goals you’re working toward

✓ Learn Italian and prepare for life here

Get our recommendation on the best path for you, based on your citizenship, family situation, work, income, goals and plans for Italy now and in the future.

“When we joined, we had no idea where to begin. We knew we wanted to move to Italy, but citizenship, visas, property and the whole process felt overwhelming. They gave us a plan, people we could actually trust, and the confidence to keep moving forward. We’re now living in Italy.”
— Peter Marino from Georgia to Todi
Moving to Italy takes time, and new questions come up as you go. That's why your plan comes with a full year of expert-led guidance, live Q&As, and a community walking the same path, so you're never figuring out the next step alone.
Our Smart Move Italy experts review your situation and give you personalized recommendations for your path forward.
Use your plan alongside our expert guidance, resources and community to work through the details and take your next steps.
You tell us where you are now. We’ll help you map the way forward.
Complete your Move to Italy questionnaire: circumstances, goals, lifestyle, timeline.
We want you to feel completely confident that A New Life in Italy is the right support for your move. So from the day you join, you'll have 7 days to explore the community, meet the team, and start using the resources.
If it's not for you within those first 7 days, just let us know and we'll refund your fee. No questions asked.
And your personalized plan?
You can start your Move to Italy questionnaire right away. Once your 7-day guarantee period ends, our Smart Move Italy team begins reviewing your information and building your personalized recommendations.
That way, your plan is built for people who are ready to move forward with us.
Your move is personal.
We don’t take your answers and drop them into a generic roadmap.
We look at you. Your timeline. Your family. Your finances. Your passport. Where you want to live. And what you actually want your life in Italy to look like.
Then we use years of experience helping people make this move to tell you what applies to you, what doesn’t, and what you should do next.
Because moving to Italy isn’t just about knowing the rules. It’s knowing how those rules apply to you.
We know the rules.
We know the realities. And we know where the two don’t always match.
Your plan should be too.
Today, my Smart Move Italy team and I help people from around the world navigate the decisions, bureaucracy and details that can make moving here feel overwhelming.
We’ve helped thousands turn “I want to live in Italy” into a real plan, and ultimately, a real life here.
And that’s exactly what I want for you.
I know Italy is possible.
I also know it’s complicated.
Over the years, people from around the world have come through A New Life in Italy and gone on to make it home.
They started exactly where you are. Asking questions. Making plans. Figuring out what actually applied to them.
Today, they're living it.
Now it's your turn.
Because the goal was never to learn more about moving to Italy. It's to actually get here.
