Best Places to Live in Italy for Americans
If you’ve ever thought about owning a home in Italy, now may be the right time to take that idea seriously.
In 2025, Italy became one of the most popular countries in the world for wealthy foreigners to buy property. Today, international buyers own about 70% of the country’s luxury real estate – a number that’s still rising.
The market itself is strong. Italy’s total real estate value is now estimated at €16 trillion (about $18.24 trillion), with both new and existing home prices on the rise.
But this trend isn’t just about beauty or lifestyle. For many Americans, Italy is becoming a tool for long-term planning because:
Tax breaks for new residents.
Tight supply in key areas, like Florence, Rome, & Lake Como.
Safe diversification, protecting wealth, and opening doors to a second residency.
Is it perfect? No. Regional variations in infrastructure, culture, and bureaucracy can make planning a bit more complicated. But we still see Italy as a good potential option for Americans who want to protect wealth and build more global flexibility. Indeed, we have many clients who have purchased property there, and a few who have moved there to enjoy la dolce vita.
That’s why, in today’s we’ll walk you through the best places to live in Italy – and how each one fits into a broader strategy to safeguard your assets and expand your options.
Some you’re no doubt aware of – Rome and Milan. But Italy is more than just the big cities.
Thinking about buying property overseas?
It's a part of many Plan Bs we create for our clients. But it's not just about negotiating a good deal.

From reviewing the purchase agreement to figuring out the best way to avoid probate to keeping it all compliant on the US side of things -- we're here to help.
