In Italy , there are government incentives, like tax credits, for people renovating their homes, even renters.

The renovations cost us about $41,000 , but between the government rebates and the rent pause, we saved roughly $33,400 .

I run a company called Doing Italy to help other Americans make a home for themselves here.

On average, Italians get four to six weeks of paid vacation every year.

From Milan , we can get to Lake Como or Genova , on the seaside, in under two hours .

The fact that I now get to regularly vacation in places like Italian Dolomites and spend weekends in Vienna is not something I take for granted.
