Welcome to My 2025-26 Blog - by Piero Lorenzo
Are you an American drawn to Italy—not only as a destination, but as a place to live, own a home, or build a lasting personal connection?
This journal brings together personal stories, Italian culture, economics, and real estate experience. Some articles examine the practical questions Americans face when considering property ownership in Italy. Others explore the people, places, traditions, and experiences that have shaped my life and the way I work.
From community, food, art, and quality of life to taxation, property risk, cross-border differences, and long-term planning, these articles offer a perspective developed through 25 years of real estate experience between Italy and California.
My purpose is not to romanticize Italy or present it as the right choice for everyone. It is to offer an honest and informed view of what Italy can provide—personally, financially, and culturally—while also explaining the complexities that buyers should understand.
Explore the articles below for insights, reflections, and practical guidance on living between two countries and approaching Italian real estate with greater clarity.
