The Real Life in ItalyAuthor: Evelyn Colline Alle Montagne - Life in Italy Guide
The Real Life in Italy is just doing the best we can to make life in Italy as a foreigner just a bit easier. Were cutting through the bullshit of La Dolce Vita to share with you what you really need to know while living in Italy. From tidbits of Italian culture to navigating the nightmarish bureaucracy, and even some language tips, youll find it all here. What will we be talking about? Anything and everything about living in Italy. Heres just some questions well look to answer: Who the hell was this Garibaldi guy? And this Aldo Moro? Why does every town have a Via XX Settembre?! How do I get my Permesso di Soggiorno and more importantly, dear God how do I survive the Questura? What DOES mi raccomando mean? What Birth Control is in Italy? Can I get IVF on Healthcare? What are my options when pregnant in Italy? (Yes, well get serious.) What IS the difference between Carabinieri and Polizia?! No really, can I get an iced coffee in Italy? Living in Italy as a foreigner is filled with challenges and moments where we all want to cry, rip out our hair, throw the towel in, and say basta, Im going home. Youre not alone. But I believe the more we can confidently understand our life abroad as expats in Italy, the easier, and more enjoyable it gets. My own life in Italy has taken me to struggle through, and figure out how bureaucracy, healthcare, and finances work here. Along the way, because I am a nerd, Ive also decided to learn all I can about the long and complicated history of this country I call home. Nothing makes me happier than sharing this information with fellow expats in Italy and watching them laugh off the struggle and thrive in their new life in Italy. This podcast is for foreigners living in Italy, who are all just trying to make sense of it all. Listen in to learn all about a side of living in Italy everyone else forgot to tell you about. But dont expect us all to be better, I promise.

Love in Italy: How to find balance in Multicultural Relationships
Monday, 14 October, 2024
An episode I have been waiting so long to share. This week I invited on Gabriela Encina, a psychologist helping specifically expat couples navigate the challenges of multicultural relationships. In my time in Italy I have met so many foreigners who moved to Italy for love (or stayed for love), but sometimes, things in these relationships aren’t all grande amore. There’s a huge challenge of balancing between cutural differences. Lack of language, or stability can make us feel at times that this isn’t the life for us, but for our partners. That doesn’t mean all is lost, it’s just about finding balance again. Biggest lesson:look out for yourself and take care of yourself! Don’t let your life revolve around your partner. If you are looking to create a community of your own, not your partners, look for Girl Gone International in your community (It’s where I found Gabriela!)
