I have been researching moving to Italy. I never felt at home in the states. Always valued, well, everything the Italians value. Food, Nature, simplicity yet longevity of materials around them. Just to name a few. I find your video's easy to understand, content I care about and informative. Thanks, wife and I are planning a trip next August or September. I will be looking closely at real estate while there.
Thank you Chip for introducing the mayor and this region. I was already looking into homes to purchase there and am looking at many many other regions, but in reality, I believe its best to take a year off and travel to all the regions to see which area one would fall in love with. Please do more of these cities and introductions. At this time, I am taking care of my 95 year old dad, so I can't take a year off as of right now, but in the future I may.
Christine, Keep watching. This video was done professionally and they did a great job. I look forward to doing more, and they will, most likely be with pictures and brief videos. Chip
Great stuff as always. I was born in the Rieti province, now I'm living abroad because of my job. Hopefully I will be able to come back to enjoy retirement in my beautiful village of Cittaducale. Wonderful to see that you enjoy living in central Italy.
Great video! For those of us who speak Spanish, a move to Italy doesn't seem very difficult. As I listen to the mayor I realize I am understanding about 75% of what he is saying.
This is the list of Comuni in Rieti province that qualify for the 7% as per DECRETO-LEGGE 17 ottobre 2016, n. 189: Cantalice; Cittaducale; Poggio Bustone; Rivodutri; Accumoli; Amatrice; Antrodoco; Borbona; Borgo Velino; Castel Sant'Angelo; Cittareale; Leonessa; Micigliano; Posta. Sadly, some of these Comuni have been seriously damaged by the earthquake.
Like I said, in another comment, we have both lived closer to earthquake epicenters in the US and in other natural disaster areas of the US. It doesn't take much shaking to topple an ancient stone built building with an old foundation. Many of the cities and towns that were affected, were ancient treasured hilltop towns. There is a larger city with in about 3 hours from us, that has suffered some damage about ever 15-20 years, we would not live there. However, we are not concerned about where we live now.
Hi! Any place left in Italy like "the Durrells in Corfu"? I have been to more of the tourist places in Italy and would love to have another look at these charming smaller local areas! Some big decisions to make this year and a trip to Italy sounds perfect to help guide me. 🎉
We both speak other latin based languages so for us, we began to understand a lot of it fairly quickly. We have friends who don't speak other languages but have learned it fairly quickly. Many Italians speak some English. They take it in school starting as a 5th grader, the older generations, not so much but many will try to communicate with you none-the-less
It depends on where you live in Rieti Province; as to high risk, we are not concerned where we are. It is important to understand that it doesn't take much shaking to tumble an ancient stone-built house whose foundation is hundreds of years old. Having said that we have expat friends who live in an ancient house that they remodeled nearer the seismic epicenter and their house has never been in a quake in the last 50 years. Another reason to use common sense and consult a building inspector if buying a house. Anyone living within 300 miles of Yellowstone Park is in a seismic zone because they are living near the world's largest caldera which by the way is waaaay overdue for an eruption. Naples Italy is the second-largest caldera in the world. Of course, the Italian govt has scientists and sensors that monitor the areas 24/7. What about the earthquakes in California? Are there active volcanoes in Italy? Yes, several. Remember Mt. Saint Helen's? I think there can be risks regardless of where you live. Drought, Fires, Flooding, Hurricanes, Tidal waves, Record high and low temperatures...115 degrees in Phoenix for how many days? - 70 in Montana last winter? Maybe some people would rather risk living through an earthquake than live in an area with a higher incidence of violent crime. It's a very personal decision.
Tony, there is a 7% incentive to move to his area and many others now.... I am doing a video on it and it will be up next week. It is a flat tax incentive of 7%...... Chip
Yes, I believe you are correct. Rieti is a town of 47,000, and the flat tax limit, as I understand it is 20,000. A few of the towns nearby may qualify: Contigliano, Greccio, Poggio Bastone, and Santa Rufina to mention a few.
Yes, we know and we apologize. We have taken some steps to improve that situation, but this was all we had available to us at that moment and we wanted to post the video anyway because we felt the "voice-over" was of quality and also the photos of our area were worth showing all of you
I’m Greek and I just fell in love with the mayor and Rieti!
It’s placed on my list! 😂❤

Entonces puedes escuchar, aqui escucho musica no mas. No tengo idea que habla el alcalde.
Very interesting! I wasn't familiar with this area.... definitely considering Rieti as an option now.

Sadly you are correct. Thanks for the comment. Chip

I wonder if you could talk about how you gained residency in Italy?
i did not expect to find my home in such a video... i'm so proud xD ....and yes i love it
Hello Chip, i'm italian, you are a "reatino", greetings from Firenze (Florence)
thanks so much! Chip

Congratulations! You are speaking Italian already!!
you are way too kind... but I am getting there slowly. Chip
Si, grazie.
Excellent piece Chip!!
Thanks, Bill, I hope you are well. Chip
Rieti is the most important Gliding spot in central Italy.
There are pilots from all the world that come here.
Is Rieti still eligible for the 7% tax?
Could you quantify how long it was before you began understanding the language? Six months or couple years?
We both speak other latin based languages so for us, we began to understand a lot of it fairly quickly. We have friends who don't speak other languages but have learned it fairly quickly.

Reiti is in a very high seismic zone. Yea it might be very lovely but one must understand about the risks.

Great information - any idea when the government will or if they will have the incentive for moving there available?
Tony, there is a 7% incentive to move to his area and many others now.... I am doing a video on it and it will be up next week. It is a flat tax incentive of 7%...... Chip
Bellissima! But, I don't think Rieti meets the requirements for the 7%flat tax rate... correct?
Yes, I believe you are correct. Rieti is a town of 47,000, and the flat tax limit, as I understand it is 20,000. A few of the towns nearby may qualify: Contigliano, Greccio, Poggio Bastone, and Santa Rufina to mention a few.
@infothelaughingretirement3008 I will look those up! I'm a dual. Going to live there for 6 months next year as a trial run ;) grazie mille
@@voiceyourresilience209 I hope you enjoy the area as much as we do! Chip
Sorry man but audio was terrible.
Sound quality is so bad I stopped listening after 15 seconds
Yes, we know and we apologize. We have taken some steps to improve that situation, but this was all we had available to us at that moment and we wanted to post the video anyway because we felt the "voice-over" was of quality and also the photos of our area were worth showing all of you
Italy requires $3000 USD per month, passive income, per person!!!!!!!!!!
