Trying On Italy

Ciao e Benvenuto! We are Paula and Marty, hopeless Italophiles. Since our first trip to Italy 19 years ago, we’ve logged almost 30 additional visits, as well as a long-held dream of one day making Italy our home. Now that retirement is finally here, it’s time to turn dreams into reality…or at least we think so! We’ve embarked on a plan to try on Italy for three months — live like locals, put “vacation mode” aside, and see if reality and dreams align. At the conclusion, we’ll hopefully know if a permanent move is right for us. We’d love to share our adventures with you here!
