Some says that big cities are for young ones and small towns for old ones. I think instead that it depends on people's state of mind no matter what their age is.

Some friends of mine live in Castell'Arquato, in a very old house in the middle of the city. About 30 years ago they wanted to do some little internal renovation. Imagine their surprise when enlarging the bathroom they found an hidden nice in the wall, containing some human remains. Well.....after the Police and coroner had properly stormed the house.... they discovered that those were the bones of the first owner of the building. He was the notary of the town in the early 15th century. He had liked his house so much, during his long and happy life, that in his last will he asked to be buried inside his beloved place. In fact with the bones they found also a little casket with his testament. Unfortunately it was not possibile, legally, to keep him in the house. He is resting in the Museum, now.

Italy is plenty of these stories. Of course it was necessary to remove the rests of the first owner. It would be otherwise unpleasant for the current owners have the rests of an human being in the house. For us it's kinda bad luck. Not really sure but, there are anyway very few that keeps the rests of their beloved ones in their own houses and generally these are just ashes. It's also not allowed to disperse ashes in the environment so all the dead bodies or ashes are restricted to cemetery until its time to process them to make space for the new ones. But the whole country in more than 3 thousand of years have seen so many wars, diseases, natural disasters etc that it's inda correctly to consider it as a single giant cemetery. If are not properly human rests, we continue to find every kind of archeological artefacts everywhere. Even weapons from both world wars. Roman coins. Stuff like that. Last week we found seven bronze statues of the earlier Roman times perfectly conserved in a half-destroyed house in Aquila, the capital city of the region devastated by the last destructive earthquake in Central Italy. Unfortunately since its a real mess try to recover all the historical artefacts and even buildings of the region, all the works to recover the region are progressing really slowly. With great displeasure of the residents obviously that are pressing the State to return to their homes. The State instead have provided full services dignitous houses for all of them, but still all their properties are in a state of abandonment and this inflicts an hard hit on the local economy. Of course we also have other problems to deal with. Ahm... Naples needs better streets and infrastructures, Rome needs better services, the whole Puglia needs a unified system to direct waters for both civilian and agricultural usages... but citizens are fast to forget these capital needs in front of their direct and more personal but lesser important needs. The governments at this point, in order to not lose votes are used to jump from a problem to another spending money trying to help whenever its possible just to fall into the citizens consternation and polemic attitude. There's literally a low regard for any political person in Italy exactly for this reason and many governments, if not all, falls because they fail in addressing these problems. Things are getting better because in past politicians was just used to corruption. Nowadays they are just losers. But still the problems of the country are far from being resolved. It was said that Italy is a country that never changes.

@@danielefabbro822 things are done differently around the world. I don’t know where the commentator is from. For example, I am Hispanic and we also take really good care of our elders. Never leave them alone. I moved to the US and married to an American man, he had a a 90 years-old grandmother living on her own. I used to visit her quite often and her medications for her cause I just thought that wasn’t right but apparently, families are independent here for the most part. She was taken care of til she got sick, and then she passed. So, yeah, things are done differently around the globe😢😊

Think about transportation too. If you are from the States can you drive a standard car? Can you park in tight spaces? Not all small Borgo's have bus service. Many have just a run just after 7 and after 2 for students. No bus runs often on Sundays. In small towns some businesses will not break a €20 note for a small purchase. Not all take credit or cashless payments. Most of all how will you food shop? Many do not have a real grocery store; just a house that sells key items. Plus, you have to walk up hills carrying those bags. It makes sense to consider a town over 5,000 in my opinion. You will have more options.

I live in the US right now but I've been seriously considering moving to Italy. My great great grandparents( The DeMarco's ) moved here in 1903 to Chicago Illinois. It is a great desire of mine to find my family there, move nearby and live out the rest of my life. The problem is that I have no idea how to find them or if any of them still reside in Italy :/ Any ideas???

Nice channel, thanks for the videos. Just thinking.... how much do you think you'll need to spend one year in a lovely town like in the Umbria for example?
@DramaticallyExpatic Жыл бұрын
Thank you! It depends A LOT on your living standards and how much you're willing to spend. Life costs less in small towns in Italy, with rent prices and groceries and similar stuff, as compared to big cities, like Milan, Turin, or even Bologna. I have a post here on how much you can expect to spend in your first year, considering all the basic (and fixed) prices: www.patreon.com/posts/money-money-how-74766751?Link& However, as I said, it's difficult to estimate without knowing how often you'd like to eat out, how much you'd love to travel, how much you spend on groceries, etc..
