Hi there, I’m Chiara
I work as a project manager. I'm a parent. An expat based in Florence, Italy.
A few years back I moved here with my family. What began as a short-term assignment gradually became a new chapter living overseas.
How It Started
Moving to Italy wasn’t part of the long-term plan. Like many expat moves, it began as a work opportunity and quickly grew into something much bigger.
The first months were intense — new systems, new routines, new expectations. Everyday tasks felt more complicated than they should.
The Adjustment Period
There was culture shock, uncertainty, and a lot of learning by doing. But slowly, routines formed. We discovered places that worked for us, met other families, and started building something that felt stable.
Why I Built VelnimoraxTuliv
Most information online was either corporate-level relocation advice or surface-level tourism material. What was missing was honest, day-to-day family perspective.
This site aims to fill that gap — practical guidance drawn from real life in Italy.
What This Site Represents (And What It Does Not)
This site DOES:
- Practical insights gained from living in Italy
- Centered on family life and daily realities
- Updated whenever a real change occurs
This site DOESN'T INCLUDE:
- Not a tourism board resource
- Not a paid review platform
- Not a generic travel blog
Moving Forward
Our stay in Italy continues, and the learning journey goes on. As long as the information remains useful, I’ll keep documenting what we discover.
If you have questions about family life in Florence or anywhere in Italy, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Best wishes,
Chiara
Florence, Italy
