Some People Dream About Italy. You're About to Build a Life There.
INTRODUCING
La Dolce Move™
The roadmap that takes you from "I want to move to Italy" to actually living there — creating a life built around beauty, presence, and simple joy that most people only dream about.
STEP INTO YOUR ITALIAN LIFE →Something in you has been asking the same question for a while now — quietly, maybe at 2 am, maybe on your drive home from a job that pays well and means nothing. Is this it?
Maybe one (or all) of these feels true to you:
- You're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix, and you're wondering if that's "just life" or a sign.
- You've done the math on retirement in the US/Canada/UK, and it doesn't add up — not the way you want.
- You feel like you're supposed to want the life you have. But you don't, not fully.Â
- Somewhere along the way, you started praying — or manifesting, or whatever word feels true for you — about a different life. And Italy keeps coming up.
 Let's Name What You Actually Want
You want mornings that don't start with a notification. You want a butcher who knows your name and a market you walk to instead of having to drive. You want aperitivo with friends instead of a second monitor.  And a passiegiata at the end.Â
There's nothing shallow about wanting that.
It's God led, soul moving proof that you're meant for more.
What's Holding You Back
Not lack of desire. Not lack of intelligence (people in my community tend to be really smart). Usually, it's one of these:
- Self-doubt dressed up as "practicality."
- Fear of the logistics on how to organize the moving parts involved in relocating abroad.Â
- A friend or family member whose discomfort with your ambition somehow became your problem to manage.
Â
None of these blocks are actually about whether you can do this. (Because for 99.9% of you, sooner or later, can.)
It's about whether you have a system to follow. Now, you do!
Three Ways People Usually Try to Get to Italy - (And Where They Fall Short)
1. Googling, Facebook, and Ai Advice
Hours lost down research rabbit holes, piecing together conflicting or outdated advice — and still feeling unsure about what's actually required.
2. Hiring an Immigration Attorney.
Genuinely helpful — but they don't guide you through region selection, housing, taxes, or daily life logistics. That's simply not their job.
3. Premium Relocation Services.
Like our "Benvenuto Concierge" service. Wonderful for complicated moves, but not necessary (or affordable) for everyone.
Â
La Dolce Move™ fills the gap.Â
It's the structured, guided middle path. Real expertise, real systems, without needing a five-figure budget, a ninja belt in googling, or a mountain of patience.

Â
AS ANNIE SAYS...
“It’s been the best decision of our lives to follow God’s plan for us to move to Italy.”
Â
Because whether you call it faith, intuition, or that feeling you just can't shake — I've seen people follow it, and it be the best decision of their lives. Including for me.
HOWÂ OUR STUDENTS DO IT
Using our Signature Doing Italy Process, which includes:
V.I.T.A Model
Our Signature Framework so you always know what is to come and what to do next will take you from simply dreaming to living your best life in Italy.
Professionals We Love
You’ll have access to vetted experts who specialize in their respective fields and who are ready to help if needed.Â
A Community in Italy
A network of Italy-loving people who are all on a similar path, ready to provide their friendship and support as you build your new life in Italy.Â
Â
TAKE ME AS AN EXAMPLE
I grew up middle-class, Black, Caribbean-American, in Miami.
No European passport. No family funding my flights. Piece by piece, mistake by mistake, I constructed an unmistakably beautiful life in Italy on my own terms.
- with leisurely strolls to the bakery for a fresh pastry in the morning;
- weekly visits to my local market;
- evening aperitifs with my incredible network of friends;Â
- and several trips per year to jaw-droppingly beautiful locations around Italy and Europe.
Â
To say, if I could build this, imagine what you can build it with a guide.
Â
Finally stepping off the hamster wheel and  building something slower, richer, and more aligned…
without the confusion of figuring it all out on your own.
- NO MOREÂ barely having the bandwidth to breathe because you're working so many hours.
- NO MORE reading labels and worrying about the toxic ingredients in your food.
- NO MORE asking yourself, “Is this what life is truly about?”
Claudia went from laid off...
to living in Rome!
Â
“I’m walking 3x as much as before, eating food so good your eyes roll, seeing scenery and architecture so beautiful that I can’t even put it into words.
And I am HAPPY! I believe I have you to thank for making it not seem like something unattainable or something you can only dream about.”
Â
Yes, You Can Move to Italy Too
You don’t need luck, a European passport (though that helps), or even a big relocation budget.
You just need a clear plan—and a trusted guide to help you follow it.
Your Step-by-Step Roadmap to Moving to Italy
The proven process you can follow
Â
Previously known as our “Move to Italy Masterclass”
Everything you need to move to Italy from A-Z
Inside La Dolce Move™, you’ll get the step-by-step guidance and explanations you need to turn your Italian dream into reality:
- On-demand video lessons that walk you through every part of the process—from visas and taxes to housing, healthcare, and more
- Workbooks and checklists to help you plan, stay organized, and take action with confidence
- Real-life tips for building community abroad while staying connected to the people you love back home
You don’t have to figure it out alone—we’ve mapped it all out for you.
Â
And now — for the first time — full access to the La Dolce Move Roadmap.
Our brand new, customizable, month-by-month relocation plan, built around your specific residency path, your family, and your move date. No more wondering "what am I supposed to be doing this month." The Roadmap tells you.
Here’s what’s waiting for you inside:
Defining Your Vision
How do you see yourself living in Italy? What’s the catalyst behind your move? And what does living the “dolce vita” mean to you? We’ll help you get super clear on this to pick the perfect place to create your new home.Â
Cost of Living in Italy
Now that you know what’s important to you, we’ll help you understand exactly what it will cost to live in Italy, including specific examples from several places around the country.
Working in Italy
Are you planning on working in Italy? Then, this module is for you. We cover the Italian job market, starting your own business in Italy, and other options for expats.
Living in Italy LegallyÂ
So now that you know “What” and “Where”, we’ll help you figure out “How”. From Visa options to Citizenship, this module is taught by a premier Italian immigration attorney.
Renting in Italy
Are you planning on renting? This module has essential things you’ll want to know (and probably didn’t think about) — like when an ad says “unfurnished”, it probably means it doesn’t even include a kitchen!
Buying a Home Italy
Crucial time and money-saving information to assist you in the Italian home-buying process. From the catasto to how to get an Italian real estate agent to respond, we’ll lay everything out for you.
Italian Taxes
Understand the Italian tax system and special tax incentives designed explicitly for expats with a licensed chartered accountant.
The Italian Healthcare System
In-depth coverage of how the system works and how to find the best hospitals + physicians. Plus, we discuss the public and private healthcare options available to you and the costs associated with them.Â
Moving to Italy with Kids and Pets
From navigating Italian asilos (nurseries), public schools, and international schools to exploring the benefits of raising a family in Italy, you’ll know what to expect for your children. Note: In this module we also cover moving with your fur babies.Â
Italian Bureaucracy
How to successfully deal with the infamous Italian bureaucracy.

Â
The mistake many people make is that they decide to move abroad with limited help. They spend countless hours scrolling the internet and asking questions in numerous Facebook groups, getting conflicting information.
The last thing you want is to pack up your life, only to find out you got the wrong visa and you can’t actually stay in Italy. Or, to be settling in only to be hit with a nasty bill by the taxman because you didn’t organize your finances properly. Â
Premium relocation packages, like our Benvenuto Concierge, are also extremely beneficial for complicated moves or people with limited time. Services like this come with five figure price tag, which isn't feasible for everyone or makes less sense for people who are planning to move to Italy down the road.
Â
There had to be another way, which is why we created the Doing Italy La Dolce Move program.

Harris Poll notes "Lower cost of living, political dissatisfaction, and quality of life" as the main drivers for Americans who are considering moving abroad

Ciao, I’m Thea.
An American living her best Italian life.
Â
Raised in Miami, I first moved to Italy in 2002. Since then, I've lived in Florence, L'Aquila, and Milan. I earned my master's at Bocconi University and worked with some of Italy's most famous luxury brands.Â
I created Doing Italy, to help Americans and Canadians actually get here — legally, financially sanely, and without the months of panic-Googling like I did when I first arrived.
WHY I CREATED THIS PROGRAM
As long as I've lived in Italy, I've been telling anyone who'll listen — friends, family, total strangers on the airplane  — to move here.
Â
But underneath that, there's something even bigger. Somewhere along the way, much of the States became a rat race obsessed with bigger, faster, and more! American (and to an extent Canada)Â quietly lost the plot on family, presence, and joy.
Italy isn't perfect.
But healthcare is available to everyone. People in Italy still know that food that is made better not only tastes better but is also better for the planet. People prioritize time with loved ones.
And there's a special kind of joy I get watching clients land here and finally exhale.
Â
On a bigger macro level, I want to help make the world a better place.Â
For those of you who choose to follow your dreams and move abroad (full-time or even part-time), you will be able to look at Italy with curious eyes to find the joy in slow living and everything it brings.
Perhaps, like me, you’ll then look back on your own culture with a fresh perspective and then share that perspective with your friends and loved ones back home.
And help show them that there is a better way.Â
