Signature Course Vita Italia
Weaving Your Way Through the Tough Stuff
the foundation
the lifestyle
The Italian tax system is a thing of mystery for many - including Italians! We are determined to help make sense of it for you, and to guide you on how you can save money and plan for your move early to avoid unnecessary costs.
You will also complete a private evaluation of your finances for Visa qualification, settling in and meeting your lifestyle needs. Plus you will have a detailed understanding of exactly what it will cost you to move and live your lifestyle in Italy.
Your Financial Plan for Success
the money
Choosing your place to live, whether it is buying/renting or sharing accommodation is more than just ticking off the property features. Where you live in Italy can have a major impact on your lifestyle, budget, taxes and residency status.
Our experts expose the truth about the property market in Italy and what the risk are to foreigners and how to reduce them. You will leave with a deep understanding of how you can rent or buy safely in Italy.
Chosing your New Home in Italy
the new home
Maybe you think you don’t qualify for a Visa and moving to Italy is not possible for you? Not so fast! There are many pathways to a new life in Italy, and we will uncover every possibility so you can choose the best one for success. If you’re a dual-Italian citizen, we will show you all of the benefits (some even Italians don’t know!) waiting for you.
Finally, we will focus on the actual moving: preparing documents, reporting, the Permesso di Soggiorno, Tessera (health card) and more.

"The best you will ever take"
When Diana's husband started sharing the things he was learning with Vita Italia, she said, "That's great but honestly, we will never ever be able to buy a place and move to Italy." But as time went on, Diana not only realized it was possible, but knew that they had the knowledge they needed to make the move, claim citizenship and buy a house in Italy. Now, they are celebrating their soon-to-be new life in Italy.

When the clerk recognized her name, she quickly told Jodi that they were cousins and the rest is history. Jodi joined Vita Italia to help her plan for the big move to gain her Italian citizenship and establish a foundation to build her new life in Italy. She now lives in her ancestral town and is loving her new life.

Talking about how great Samantha Wilson has become cliché and almost boring…but I’m still going to do it! To move to Italy has been a vague dream for years. I thought it would be impossible to make this dream a reality. I now know, it is not only possible, but likely.

I'm Samantha, a Westcoast city girl who probably like you, fell in love with Italy decades ago and made it my mission to find a way to move myself and my family to Tuscany. Fast forward past many years, costly mistakes and wrong turns, and you’ll see the life I have in Italy today, that is healthier, happier and more connected.
I am completely obsessed with helping people find their new life in Italy because I know that it is possible but I also know that Italy is complicated and that to do it alone, or with random, unqualified guidance is a recipe for disaster. I have seen it, wiped the tears and corrected the mistakes too many times to discount the importance of getting the right information from the right people at the right time.

The Three Pillars of Vita Italia...
Where does you stress come from?
Usually it is from not knowing what to do, getting conflicting information, and confusion with the process and language barrier – but don’t worry – because we are going to cover that in every module along the way. Vita Italia is all about minimizing stress.
We also have “special live sessions” with expert specialists who generously offer their expertise to keep you grounded and prepared.
but it wasn't always this easy.

Vita Italia Empowers you with Knowledge because...
IT gives you an honest and real approach to living in italy.
You may have a big dream to move to Italy and are determined make it happen at all costs, even if that means putting on blinders to the truth. You need to allow yourself to accept the truth that maybe, by the end of Vita Italia, your route to Italy may be a little different than when you started. But it will be informed and accurate and not clouded with frustration.
The weekly LIVE Q&A calls give you a chance to ask your questions and get the answers – to build on your knowledge base and keep you on track.
knowledge is power
AND helps you evaluate, plan and make a decision with clarity
Fear comes in two forms – realistic and unrealistic and your journey to life in Italy will have a little bit of both. But fear, no matter if it is fear of a real problem or of something you perceive to be a problem, can be overcome. And the key to reducing fear is knowledge.
Each of these pillars will be seen throughout the Vita Italia Experience because when you reduce stress and clear the way for the truth, you will be more confident and prepared for the future.
Whether you are a digital nomad, planning to retire, an EU citizen wanting to make the move, Italian-dual citizen by descent or want to start a new life in beautiful Italy, you will benefit from Vita Italia.

"Samantha, thank you so much for Vita Italia! Moving to Italy has been my dream for many years and just hitting early retirement age I pretty much had my bags packed. You were so right when you said “You don’t know what you don’t know,” and let me tell you , there was a lot that I didn’t know and now I do. I can’t believe it has been 8 weeks already and I don’t want it to end."
