In February, 2007, a wonderful thing happened in my life. After three years of submitting documents and waiting I became an Italian citizen. 
By September we (my husband Ben and I) had sold our house, packed or sold our things and set sail with our dog on the Queen Mary 2.
Siena enjoying the Queen Mary. She was a real trooper about the whole move.
We have not looked back since. Enjoy our everyday adventures in Italy. If you are thinking of visiting please consider our guest house (see the Guest House tab above) and check Ben’s blog

Wow, this is awesome. I am an Italian Citizen born and raised, I moved to the United States got married to an American and after 8 years in the USA we decided to quit our jobs, sell everything and move to Italy… a bold move for people especially our age (27 and 33), we love it. We live in Emilia-Romagna (Milano Marittima) were I am from and have been here since March 2011. Of course we miss a lot of the comfort and luxuries we had created in the US but at the same time can’t believe how wonderful it is being here together and experiencing this. I am now 5 1/2 months pregnant and he does want to go to Tuscany sometime for a wine tour so that is next on the list….are you guys in Tuscany? Anyways it’s nice to see that there are other people like us willing to live a dream so not to have bucket list….
Hi, looks like you all have made the adjustment after moving here. Good luck with your pregnancy and making that big change. Such an adventure too. Thanks for commenting and I look forward to reading your blog.
