Lauren Quacquarelli (aka Italian Life) here!

I'm half English and half Italian. I spent my whole life travelling back and forth from the UK to Italy. A dual existence that fuelled a deep connection to both cultures. Eventually I made the life-altering decision to permanently relocate to Italy. The journey, however, was not without its challenges, especially post-Brexit when the ease of relocation became a complex puzzle.

From navigating the bureaucratic rollercoaster to soaking in the culture shocks, I know the ropes. Oh, and let's not forget, I've clocked in some serious mileage travelling across Italy over the past 26 years.

Now, I'm here to help you navigate the ropes. Whether you're considering the move, need some relocation tips, or just want a taste of Italy beyond the tourist brochures, I've got your back. I want you to experience Italy like a local. Think of me as that friend who's been there, done that, and is now here to spill the beans on how to do Italy right.
