Relocation support & guidance for people moving to Italy, with a focus on southern Italy and Salento

Welcome to To Italy & Back

We support people relocating to Italy — from citizenship pathways to settling into real life once you arrive. Based in Salento, we help make the move clearer, calmer and more manageable. If you’re exploring life in Italy, you’re in the right place.

One of the biggest barriers people come up against when moving to Italy is work.. and it’s a very real one.

“I’m thinking of moving to Italy — I’ll just find work when I get there.”

I get why it feels like the natural place to start.
But in reality, Italy doesn’t really work that way.

Work and residency are closely tied, and without the right structure, it becomes difficult to do things legally or sustainably once you arrive.

Often the people I see moving to Italy
– are able to bring their work with them
– already work remotely
– already have citizenship and look for roles that are in demand

For some people starting the process early, you can often structure your work to actually fit with a visa, rather than trying to figure it out later.

There are ways to make it work, but it’s not something to leave to chance or the last minute.

If you’re in the early stages, I offer Clarity Calls to help map this out properly.

And if you’ve been looking into it… what’s been the most confusing part so far?

A few of you have asked for more info about getting locked in the Lecce cemetery. I found this clip from last year to share! 🤣 Let this be a lesson to everyone to check the opening hours! 😜

The “Dream of Italy” usually involves pizza, wine and cobblestones. The reality of Italy involves stamps, police visits and waiting at the Questura.

I’ve been through the process, and I can tell you: the bureaucracy is manageable, but only if you know the rules of the game.

These are the top questions I get asked about the “Apply in Italy” route. Every town is a little different, but the legal foundations remain the same.

Which of these surprises you the most? Let me know in the comments! 👇

It’s usually not the big things.

It’s these small, slightly chaotic moments
that make you realise you actually live here now.

The 8pm passeggiata is real.

There’s a reason so many people feel drawn back to Italy.

For a lot of us, it started with our grandparents.
The stories, the food, the way they spoke about life there.

They painted a picture that stayed with us.

Now I’m seeing more and more people wanting to return — not just to visit, but to understand what it would actually look like to live here.

I spoke about this (and my own story of moving to Italy) in a recent interview with Lisa from .

Most people start in the middle.

Looking at houses.
Choosing a city.
Trying to work out visas at the same time.

But moving to Italy isn’t one decision.
It’s a process.

And the order you do things in matters more than most people realise.

This is the structure I guide clients through — clear, considered, and in the right sequence 🇮🇹✌🏼

There are no silly questions when it comes to moving to Italy.
Just ones people don’t always ask early enough.

These are some of the ones that come up most often. If there’s something you need an answer to, book a clarity call via the link in bio ☺️

I’m back in Australia at the moment, and this is the part I didn’t expect.

You don’t just move countries —
you end up holding two lives at once.

When you’re there, you miss home.
When you’re home, you miss it.

Not a bad thing.
Just something you don’t fully understand until you’re in it.

It looks like a big career change.

But the work itself isn’t that different.

It’s still about understanding what someone actually needs,
making sense of a situation, and putting the right pieces in place.

Just with different stakes.

If you’re starting to think about Italy but aren’t sure how it would actually work, let’s start with a Clarity Call 🇮🇹
