Retiring to Italy in 2026?

Before you sell everything and commit to the move, take a moment to think beyond the dream and focus on the plan.

In this week's episode of A New Life in Italy, Samantha Wilson shares what she would personally do if she were starting the retirement-to-Italy process from scratch today.

Topics include:

• Elective Residency Visa income requirements
• Why passive income matters more than savings
• How to avoid panic caused by misinformation online
• The "February Test" for choosing where to live
• Renting versus buying in your first year
• Building community before you arrive
• Common mistakes that can derail an otherwise successful move

One of the most important reminders from this episode: Italy isn't just a lifestyle move at the beginning. It's an administrative project. The more prepared you are, the smoother your transition is likely to be.
