The Real Life in Italy
The Real Life in Italy is just doing the best we can to make life in Italy as a foreigner just a bit easier. We’re cutting through the bullshit of “La Dolce Vita” to share with you what you really need to know while living in Italy. From tidbits of Italian culture to navigating the nightmarish bureaucracy, and even some language tips, you’ll find it all here. What will we be talking about? Anything and everything about living in Italy. Here’s just some questions we’ll look to answer: Who the hell was this Garibaldi guy? And this Aldo Moro? Why does every town have a Via XX Settembre?! How do I get my Permesso di Soggiorno and more importantly, dear God how do I survive the Questura? What DOES mi raccomando mean? What Birth Control is in Italy? Can I get IVF on Healthcare? What are my options when pregnant in Italy? (Yes, we’ll get serious.) What IS the difference between Carabinieri and Polizia?! No really, can I get an iced coffee in Italy? Living in Italy as a foreigner is filled with challenges and moments where we all want to cry, rip out our hair, throw the towel in, and say basta, I’m going home. You’re not alone. But I believe the more we can confidently understand our life abroad as expats in Italy, the easier, and more enjoyable it gets. My own life in Italy has taken me to struggle through, and figure out how bureaucracy, healthcare, and finances work here. Along the way, because I am a nerd, I’ve also decided to learn all I can about the long and complicated history of this country I call home. Nothing makes me happier than sharing this information with fellow expats in Italy and watching them laugh off the struggle and thrive in their new life in Italy. This podcast is for foreigners living in Italy, who are all just trying to make sense of it all. Listen in to learn all about a side of living in Italy everyone else forgot to tell you about. But don’t expect us all to be better, I promise. Expect some good laughs, helpful tips and cultural explanations, and expat stories to remind you that you aren’t alone, and it’ll all work out.

Evelyn’s information and a consultation with her have been the first step for me and my american husband to establish ourselves in Italy. She is so clear, well informed and simpatica, extremely helpful. Also we had the feeling she didn’t care much about money at all, she really wanted to help us. We’ll be forever grateful.
Highly recommended

I’ve been following Evelyn for YEARS on instagram, and I’m so excited that she’s putting her experiences and knowledge into a podcast! Evelyn gives a clear-eyed representation of life in Italy: the good, the bad, the complicated, and everything in between. One of the things she does SO well is she actually deep dives into these things. She doesn’t just pass on what she’s “heard” from neighbors, friends, or tour guides. She reads the laws, experiences the processes, gets into the details and shares what she finds! Excited for new episodes!
So much helpful info

Evelyn shares so much helpful info in these podcasts. She also doesn’t “lie” and sell a fake perfect version of Italy that many others do. She keeps it real, which is so important these days with everyone only showing the highlight reel. You can trust her info, knowledge and expertise (check out her travel guides! Definitely a go to recommendation for those looking for info on / about living in or moving to Italy. 10/10!
