CLEAR PATH TO ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP: Once you’ve spent more than 5 years living in Italy as an elective resident, you can become eligible to apply for Italian citizenship.
WORD CLASS QUALITY OF LIFE: Italy is one of the world’s top travel, second home and retirement destinations – and with good reason. Boasting exceptional quality of life, high personal safety and a central location in Western Europe, Italy is the place to call home on the continent.
