How to Move to Italy Workshop

Providing you with the road map and preparation needed in this journey to make your dream of living in Italy a reality!​​
​

About the Workshop: How to Move to Italy

Your dream is to move to Italy... now where to begin?!

Pack your bags for a crash course on how to move to Italy hosted by Ashley & Jason Bartner (owners of La Tavola Marche), American expats living in Italy for over 12 years. We will offer you the tools and insider information you need for a successful start to your new life in Italy!  In 2007 it took us 18 months from our first trip to Italy & the idea of starting a business to living in Italy with a Self-Employeed VISA. This will be an honest, informative, humorous, engaging and inspiring series of seminars/lectures over three days - not to mention filled with amazing food and wine at every meal (it's part of why we all want to live in Italy!).
​
Buying a holiday home, planning for your retirement or starting a business it's all in the preparation and understanding how Italy really works, this  intimate workshop will answer all your burning questions from: How do I find the right property?   Buy vs. Rent?  What do I need to move?

Of course you can read endless Facebook posts but why not get your information in person, with boots on the ground in Italy? 

We provide you with a road map for this journey to make your dream of living in Italy a reality!
​


 "We came to the farmhouse to learn, absorb their knowledge, take the reality of their advice and put it towards our ideas that had walked through their farmhouse doors on the very first night...

Jason and Ashley have created something charming and unique – something that I admire. A dream they had when they were my age, 24, and by 25 – after copious amounts of paperwork, house hunting and Italian bureaucracy – made their dreams a reality. Now, 10 years later, Jason and Ashley sat around their kitchen table telling stories of how fate, hard work, and dedication landed them in the hot seats – teaching new dreamers how to wake up and start living."
