New episode every Wednesday! Since 2015, Nathaniel and Darcy have been bouncing in and out of Italy a few months per year, and since 2019, they've been in southern Italy full-time. In that time, they learned the ins-and-outs of traveling in Italy, the headaches and pitfalls that come along with being in Italy, and the best ways to maximize time and money on any trip. They hope you enjoy!

<p>More of our mini-series "How To Live In Italy!" In this episode we talk about three of the major pathways to citizenship in Italy; the golden visa, elective residency visa (often called "the retirement visa"), and birthright citizenship (Jus Sanginis). Is the golden visa just for the uber rich? Sort of. Do I have to be of "retirement age" to apply for the elective residency visa? And finally, you've been told your whole life "we're Italian!" or maybe you just found out on an ancestry test, so how do you claim citizenship? We'll answer all of those question and more in this episode. </p><p>We touched on the so called "retirement visa" in a previous episode, How To Live In Italy: Work Visa and Retirement Visa, but we wanted to mention it again because it can be a great option for people with outside income who are looking to live in Italy. And because *spoiler* there is no age restriction. </p><p>For more info, you can check out Nathnaiel's article on our website onlyabag.com.</p><p>If you'd like to support the podcast you can donate to us on Ko-fi. This fund will help us buy new equipment for the podcast, like new mics!</p><p>Thank you all so much for listening! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>

<p>We have fit everything we possibly could about this incredible city into this episode! How do I get there? What is there to do? Why is it called "The City of Caves?" Should I even bother going? Yes! We'll tell you all about it. In this episode we talk about everything you need to know to visit, but the city's history is vast, so we only touch on that a little. But we'll be doing a deep dive into the history of this 7,000 year old community in a later episode, so stay tuned!</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode we mentioned several restaurants which were all amazing!
