Are you dreaming of retiring in Italy but aren’t sure which region is right for you? In this video, we compare 8 of the most popular Italian regions for American retirees: Tuscany, Puglia, Abruzzo, Sicily, Calabria, Le Marche, Umbria, and Liguria. Rather than simply showing beautiful scenery, we’ll examine the real advantages and disadvantages of each region, including affordability, climate, healthcare, accessibility, lifestyle, beaches, countryside, expat communities, transportation, and overall quality of life.
Whether you’re looking for a charming Tuscan hill town, an affordable seaside home in Calabria, the beaches of Puglia, the rugged beauty of Abruzzo, the culture of Sicily, the hidden gems of Le Marche, the peaceful landscapes of Umbria, or the spectacular coastline of Liguria, this guide will help you narrow down your choices and avoid costly mistakes.
If you’re planning a move to Italy, buying a home, or simply exploring your options for retirement abroad, this comparison will give you a balanced look at what each region has to offer—and the trade-offs you should know before making your decision.

Correction: The Umbria map shown in the video contains an incorrect highlighted area. Umbria is the smaller landlocked region in central Italy, directly east of Tuscany, west of Le Marche, and north of Lazio. Thank you to the viewers who brought this to our attention.
