Many people move to Italy to spend their retirement there. A more relaxed way of living, a nicer climate, lower costs make the country an attractive destination. Add to that the fact that senior citizens in Italy are privileged people, who are treated with respect and enjoy priviliges due to their age and experience. No wonder thus that so many Britons and other Europeans decide to move to Italy at the age of retirement.
If you have no previous experience with living in Italy, we suggest you rent a house first and spend three to four months a year in Italy (for example, during Winter time) to get a general idea of the what to expect, get familiar with the area you want to move to and learn the language. A working knowledge of Italian is recommended, as English is not spoken in most areas (unless you move to a touristic area or one with a thriving English-speaking community).
