Shownotes

In this episode of "A New Life in Italy," we delve into one of the most daunting aspects of moving to Italy for expats: obtaining an Italian driver's license.

Learn the intricate process of converting your foreign driver's license to an Italian one, or starting from scratch if you're from a country like the US, Canada, or Australia.

My special guest, Barbara, an American-Italian living in Rome, shares her firsthand experience of obtaining her Italian driver's license. She discusses:

- Her initial failures and the lessons learned.

- The benefits of attending a driving school.

- The detailed process of taking both the written and practical tests.

- The restrictions faced by new drivers in Italy, such as zero alcohol tolerance and vehicle limitations.

And don't forget listener questions on topics like securing short-term rentals in Italy, finding the best car insurance, and the process of obtaining an Italian passport after gaining citizenship.

Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to helping you make your dream of living in Italy a reality. Ciao for now!
