About Us

We are Carla and Alessandro, a Canadian-Italian couple with a passion for adventure and a deep love for Italy. Between us, we’ve lived in Rome, California, Hawaii, Taiwan, and Shanghai, and now we split our time between Toronto and Bracciano, a charming town just 50 minutes from Rome.

​

With firsthand experience of living and purchasing properties in the USA, Canada, and Italy, we’ve navigated the complexities of each market and understand the unique challenges and opportunities they present. Our journey has given us invaluable insight into the differences between these processes, which we’re eager to share.

​

We want to help others who, like us, feel drawn to the idea of living in Italy—whether full or part-time. Perhaps you’ve realized that with your home equity, you could afford a beautiful property in Italy, or maybe after saving for a down payment in North America, you’ve discovered that the same amount could buy you an entire home in Italy!

​

Navigating these options can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you through it all. From our personal experiences, we’ll offer practical advice and help you make your dream of living the Italian lifestyle a reality. Let us show you how easy it can be to find your own piece of the dolce vita.
