- To help decide where I'm going to buy a place in Italy I'm looking at all 20 regions. From Piedmont to Tuscany to Puglia, I'm searching for the perfect place to buy a home base in Italy. If I can find a 1 Euro house I'll be happy to remodel it, but I'm open to a move-in ready place too.

Note: It was brought to my attention that I skipped the region of Molise. My sincere apologies. This is a beautiful region with mountains, coastline of the Adriatic Sea and abundant wildlife. I fully intend to visit this region when I get to Italy in the next few weeks.
I'm right behind you in this journey. I will be taking notes!
Best of luck! Keep me posted on how it goes.
I think a good deal is region Marche. More expensive than south but not as the north. Beautiful landscape, similar Tuscany but not crowded.
I came through the northwest corner of La Marche a few days ago. It's definitely beautiful. I'll look into it more. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks the video was very informative ❤
My pleasure. Glad you liked it.
Interesting video. Look forward to your travel adventures and how you weigh up the regions as to the best place to buy your home base.
I've got it narrowed down to 5 regions. I'll be sharing my choices in future videos. Keep following.
Excellenet run down!
Thanks!
Very useful video. I'm actually interested in Abruzzo as an area to live, although not visited yet. Varied landscape, coastline, wine making, tasty cuisine, near to Rome, cheap property. Also an airport at Pescara. What put you off about it? You missed out Molise, by the way.
@uktonymagill You're right! I missed Molise. I guess I was rushing through to try to get all 20 regions in under 30 minutes. Sorry about that.
My most recent video, "Other properties in 1 Euro towns" features a couple properties in Abruzzo and I definitely plan on checking out this region when I'm there in a few weeks.

@@aroundtheworldwithmike Thanks Mike, I'll check out that other video.
Somehow I think the residents of Molise are used to this by now. 😄
For non-Europeans Abruzzo and Puglia are most often noted, for relatively inexpensive housing but, I would bet, Molise beats both. On the other hand, it is a bit more rural...
But everything is so darn close, assuming you have a vehicle to drive.
@@Agg1E91 I'm in Abruzzo at the moment. Looking at some properties in Penne tomorrow. From here I'm heading south so I'll look into Molise. Thanks for the tip.
Good point - Proximity to an international airport! I’d want easy access for sure. And proximity to Home Depot. ; )
I liked the overview of the regions, it helped me understand the land better. Gonna be cool!!!
Thanks Nathan. Italy is an incredibly diverse country. I'm looking forward to exploring it more.
Lol i am in Arizona now too. Planning on retiring in Italy🎉
Small world. 😂
I live in Phx. starting to hate it and am considering retiring in Italy, too.
I'M YOUR 100TH SUBSCRIBER❤😂
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
You capture the 'Zen' of riding perfectly. So focussed, in the moment and in the elements. Italy is a riding dream. Each area has its own incredible beauty. Dolce fare niente.....life without a care!!! Great food and culture.
Ive just discovered ypur chanrl as i plan my own move to Italy....thankyou for posting.....wonderful stuff.
Thanks! I'm definitely looking forward to riding in Italy. Maybe I'll see you over there.
Hope so. Maybe on a multistrada! But hoping to relocate in the coming two years to Italy...so maybe our paths will cross. Cheers N@@aroundtheworldwithmike
@@nicholasmait A Multistrada would be amazing. I have an S1000XR with 160hp. It's similar and incredible to ride. I hope to see you in Italy.
@@aroundtheworldwithmike A beautiful BMW! Yes very close ( and certainly I looked at with awe)...But Im just a sukker for the Dukati purr. Lol.
I love to be up near Cavalese or Bolzano through to the Dolomites. Brilluant. Cant wait to follow your adventures as you find your house....and of course I would love to see you one day in beautiful Italy.
Maybe I'll look at a Ducati after a find a place. You know what they say, when in Rome...
I’m interested in Umbria. The northern cities around Milan and Turin are intriguing and offer great culture but it is the warmth of the locals that I’m looking for. I also took a good look at LeMarche but difficult to get to. Happy trails!
Thank you so much. Umbria sounds nice to me too.
Why did you skip Molise?
@danafree592 That was a complete accident. I recorded an earlier version that was over 45 minutes so I went back and recorded it again to try to make it shorter and clearly I overlooked Molise. Thanks for the heads up. I'll put a note in the description.
In Italy we say that Molise doesn't exist.
🇮🇹😏😏😏At the beginning, explains the Italian Geographical Society, there were the Provinces, a typical legacy of a Risorgimento that had rejected federalism. The unitary state had been modeled on the Napoleonic-style centralistic organization with 59 territorial divisions of optimal size to be able to be crossed in a day's ride. Then came the Regions, which should have put an end to that model by starting the season of autonomy and decentralization. Instead the Provinces began to rise like whipped cream. At the birth of the Regions, in 1970, there were 94, three more than in 1947. Today there are 110. And with them the Unions of Municipalities, mountain communities, hill communities, municipal districts, districts, industrial development areas, tourist areas, Employment centers Not to mention the inextricable tangle of intermediate bodies between Municipalities, Provinces and Regions: from local health authorities to the thousands of local public companies, to optimal territorial areas, to reclamation consortia, even to educational institutions. And autonomy has turned into a frenzy.
Overlapping of skills, duplication of functions, multiplication of responsibilities without anyone being truly responsible. All with five Regions (or six, considering the autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano) with such special status as to effectively protect them from any central conditioning. Such a complicated jumble that today no one is even able to say exactly how many public administrations there are in Italy: a recent survey estimated them at a number close to 46 thousand. But we have not yet been able to go beyond a simple estimate.
Which says a lot about the disorder produced by this uncontrolled superfetation of administrative levels. The reform of Title V of the Constitution desired by the centre-left in 2001 then contributed to making mayonnaise go mad once and for all, decentralizing powers often in an irrational way: suffice it to say that each Region could draw up its own budget with its own accounting principles, and that among the matters of competition legislative work had also been put in place between the State and the Regions. As if companies in Lazio could have different rules on contracts relating to the same professions from those in Campania. It is no coincidence, therefore, that right from the beginning of the new century public spending began to increase exponentially: in ten years regional budgets doubled, without the growth in spending in the periphery having corresponded to a similar reduction in state spending central.

Your first video showed up in my recommendations yesterday. I'm a new subscriber and trying to go through your videos in order. You may have addressed this in one of the videos I have not seen yet, but is the 7% flat tax important to you in your search considering you may make Italy your primary residence at some point?
I haven't researched the long term tax implications. I'll look into it though. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@aroundtheworldwithmike Sure thing. Income taxes in Italy are fairly high. There are regions in Southern Italy with a 7% flat tax to encourage immigration. Huge savings. I believe it requires the property you purchase to be in a town with a population of less than 20,000. I think it is Abruzzo, Campania, and everything south plus Sardinia and Sicily. I have not done a ton of research so your mileage may vary. Looking forward to following your journey.
Best region is Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the north east. You are closed to Austria, Slovenia, Venice, the Dolomites, beaches, mountain resorts, lakes, nature, but also history .. Not typical Italian, ( more quiet, never crowded,), people could look " cold" at the beginning, but they are hot inside
I've heard really good things about Friuli Venezia Giulia, but I'm concerned about the weather in the colder seasons. I live in a cold place now and don't want another place that is cold for long parts of the year.
@@aroundtheworldwithmike it is not Sicily of course... Lakes of Fusine, near Tarvisio, is very cold in winter ( even now in April there is snow), but in the plain it is OK.. In Trieste there could be bora, a very very strong wind from the East that could make you feel colder than actually is..
@@M.C.K.111 I've read about the Bora winds. They sound terrible. 🥶
@@aroundtheworldwithmike actually it's so peculiar that it is almost funny!!
@@M.C.K.111 but is also sunny in the winter...plus the culture and no crime.
Consider the earthquakes frequency and severity and also distance from Campi Flegrei. For me those are the most important factors.
Thank you for the suggestions. I will keep those in mind.
I have heard that Puglia is the safest place re: seismic activity. Otherwise if you're in the mountains, or nearby, it's just a matter of time.
"I guess the question you have to ask yourself is, 'Do I feel lucky?"
"Well, do ya!"
Honestly, L'Aquila and Sulmona notwithstanding, I feel ok looking at properties in places like western Abruzzo. If it happens it happens.
@@Agg1E91 That's interesting. I hadn't heard that about Puglia. Thanks for the info. I agree. I'm of the opinion, worry about what you can control. And I can't control earthquakes. 😂
Tutte le 20 regioni d 'Italia sono estremamente diverse tra loro perLingua cibo tradizioni,infatti in ognuna di queste si parla una o più lingue diverse ti accorgerai che le città più piccole che spesso i turisti non sanno neanche che esistono sono incredibilmente belle,in qualunque regione sceglierai sarai comunque vicino a mare montagne e straordinarie città d'arte e ribadisco qualunque regione,ricorda L 'Italia e una Nazione in cui coesistono 20 identità estremamente differenti e sicuramente questo è un concetto molto difficile da capire per uno statunitense😊
Thank you for your comment. There is no doubt that each region of Italy is very different, but it's not so difficult for an American to understand. There are many different regions of America and with 50 states and a population of 350 million people it is arguably more diverse than Italy. I look forward to exploring Italy more and experiencing and embracing the unique characteristics of each region.
Tutto quello che mi hai scritto già lo sapevo noi Italiani siamo sempre molto informati, perchè molto curiosi;proprio per questo ti ho scritto non sottovalutare le profonde differenze culturali delle diverse regioni ti faccio un esempio se sei in Emilia Romagna la mentalità sarà simile a quella tedesca se sei nel Salento sarà più simile a quella dei Greci e così via ti consiglio di cercare veramente di approffondire più che poi prima di decidere ,io stessa che sono Italiana (Romagnola)Avrei serie difficoltà a cambiare regione
Be aware you may not cross some borders in high Alps on winter except if you go through expensive tunnels.... One more reason to not buy in Alps area 🤔
Great tip. Thanks.
The Actual answer is Anywhere. The 'only' downside is you can't be everywhere at the same time.
I agree completely!

Naples seems far from the rest of Europe…
It is super fantastic
Naples is definitely a long way from Central Europe. It's about 500 miles just to get from Naples to Milan in northern Italy. That is definitely something to consider. But some of the benefits of Campania (the region of Naples) are the incredible culture, the varied landscape, the different food and the warmer climate. Lots of things to weigh.
It's super fantastic amazing awesome! 😂
@@aroundtheworldwithmike and crime in Naples..
@@RoseBornagain Yes, I've heard stories of crime in Naples. It's the 3rd largest city in Italy so I'm sure there's crime. But I have no interest in living in a big city. Living near enough for international Transit options is one of the appealing things to me about Naples.
