I'm thinking of moving to Rome with my large dog, a 65 lb Rhodesian Ridgeback. Did you see many other large dogs when you were there? How doable would you say living in Rome with a large dog is?
Great summary. I’m kinda like Josh that, given the choice, I wouldn’t want to live in a capital or very large city-anywhere. Getting older, I appreciate tranquility but still enjoy the diversity a large city offers. And that’s our big issue. Finding that sweet spot (Italy or Portugal) is challenging so looking at a residential area that’s removed from the tourist madness (as Kalie suggests) might work for us. 👍🏻
Don't forget that as you get older, it is very important to be close to reliable medical care and quick transport to a major hospital. This happened to an acquaintance who moved to a remote village in Italy and sadly suffered a stroke. He is now paralyzed from the waist down and had to be repatriated back to the US all because he couldn't get transported to a hospital on time. By all means, buy that weekend country home (most Italians have second homes), but live in a large city. Other than that, moving to Rome from NYC was the best decision of my life.

Thanks Kalie and Josh, great info!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yet another great video! The food would get my interest, for sure!
Thanks for watching!

He looks like Robert Downey Junior, doesn't he ? 😊
I would have to agree with Josh.😊
