If I could give you only ONE person to talk to regarding building a new life in Italy, it would be this guy. Unfortunately, I’m giving you THIS guy 4 months after our initial recording (my tech-NO-bility issues). Mark Hinshaw, successful author, artist, architect, urban planner, journalist and for many years now, Italian immigrant, joined me on the podcast to discuss the affordability of his life with his Italian blooded wife, Sunny Savina Bertollini, in San Vittoria en Matenano, a 7% flat tax town in the region of Marche’. Although this episode is full of great information on cost of living and other monetary issues that we love to explore, I’d invite you to listen DEEPLY, as I know noone who has mastered the art of assimilation and acculturation as well as they have. Enjoy this gem of a person hiding high on a hilltop in this beautiful region tucked closely behind the Appenine mountains and overlooking the beautiful Adriatic Sea.
