โ Every person who dreams of moving to Italy
Sound familiar? You're not alone โ and you're not disorganized or unprepared.
The information about moving to Italy is everywhere. The clear, personalized path is not.
That's exactly why we built this.

The real problem
The 5 things keeping you
stuck at "someday"
It's not that you lack commitment. It's that the process of moving to Italy is genuinely complex โ and nobody gives you the complete picture in the right order.
01
You don't know where to start
Visa or housing first? Save more or apply now? Every forum thread starts differently. Without a sequential roadmap, every day feels like a false start.
02
Visa windows are unforgiving
Consulate appointments disappear in minutes. Documents have expiry dates. Miss a six-month window and your move gets delayed by a year. You can't afford to discover this the hard way.
03
Your situation is unique โ generic checklists aren't
Moving as an ERV applicant with a dog and a rental requirement looks nothing like moving as an EU citizen buying property. A generic list wastes your time and misses your critical steps.
04
The financial piece feels opaque
How much do you actually need? What's the real income threshold for your visa? When do you need it? Without a plan anchored to your move date, savings goals are just guesses.
05
You're scared of making an expensive, irreversible mistake
You've heard the stories. Someone sold their house before their visa was approved. Someone showed up with the wrong documents. The stakes feel too high to wing it.
โ
What you actually need
Not more research. Not another forum thread. A clear, step-by-step plan that's yours โ built around your visa, your family, your move date, and your finances.

Your life photo here
This can be your actual life โ not just your screensaver
What you're really after
You're not just moving countries.
You're choosing a different life.
- The morning that feels like yours โ espresso, a terrace, no alarm, nowhere you have to be
- The food, the culture, the beauty โ not as a tourist, but as someone who actually lives there
- Healthcare, community, slowness โ things the world used to have, Italy still does
- The financial freedom โ living well on less, dollar-to-euro, without trading your soul for it
- Being the person who actually did it โ not the one who kept meaning to
That life is real and attainable. Hundreds of people have already done it. The only thing standing between you and it is a clear, sequenced plan โ and the confidence to act on it.
The gap between dreaming about Italy
and actually living there is called: a plan.
and actually living there is called: a plan.
Not a vague intention. Not a "someday" vision board. A sequenced, deadline-aware, personalized plan that accounts for your specific visa pathway, your family situation, your finances, and your target arrival date. A plan that tells you what's due in three months, what's urgent this week, and what you can safely defer. The kind of plan that lets you book the flight with confidence โ not anxiety.

Questions answered
Everything you want to know
before you buy
No โ and that's important. The La Dolce Move Timeline Calculator is an educational planning tool designed to help you organise your process and understand the sequence of steps involved in relocating to Italy. It is not legal, tax, immigration, or relocation advice. We always recommend consulting a qualified immigration attorney or professional for your specific situation โ and the tool links you to trusted resources like Studio Legale Metta to help you do exactly that.
The calculator covers all six primary pathways: Elective Residency Visa (ERV), Digital Nomad Visa (DNV), Study Visa, EU Citizen, Italian Citizen, and Married to an Italian / Civil Union. It also accounts for moving with children, bringing a pet, renting vs. buying, shipping household goods, and working locally or remotely.
This is exactly where to start. The calculator begins with the Vision phase โ defining what Italian life actually looks like for you โ before moving into finances, legal, and logistics. Many customers tell us that using the calculator for the first time is what transformed their vague dream into a concrete, achievable timeline. It shows you how far away you actually are โ which is often closer than you think.
That's one of the best things about this tool โ it's completely adjustable. Change your target arrival date and every deadline recalculates automatically. Switch from renting to buying, add a pet, change visa type โ the timeline adapts instantly to reflect your new situation. It's a living plan, not a static document.
The Timeline Calculator is a standalone planning tool, not a course. It's built on the same VITA framework as the full Doing Italy course, and it's designed to be a powerful entry point and companion for anyone planning their Italian move. If you want deeper guidance, community, and expert support beyond the planning tool, the full course covers all of that โ but the calculator stands completely on its own and delivers immediate, concrete value.
Free checklists are generic. They don't know your visa type, your family situation, your move date, or your finances. One missed visa appointment window costs you 6โ12 months. One wrong document at a consulate costs you money, time, and emotional energy you can't get back. This calculator is personalised, dynamic, officially sourced, and built on a proven system. The question isn't whether $97 is worth it. The question is: what does getting your Italian move wrong actually cost?
Instantly โ via your Kajabi account. You'll receive a confirmation email with login details (or access through your existing account if you're already a student). The calculator is a browser-based interactive tool, so there's nothing to download or install. You can access it on any device, anytime.
The only thing standing between you
and your Italian life is a plan.
Stop adding tabs to your browser. Stop waiting until you "know more." The people who make it to Italy are the ones who start with a real plan โ and then work it, one task at a time.
