You don't move to Italy. You plan it.
Every year thousands of people fall in love with Italy and take the leap — only to discover months later that how they moved cost them far more than expected. One month's difference in the date of the move, a registration done in the wrong order, a regime chosen without comparing it to the alternatives: these are mistakes you pay for over years.
This first volume maps the architecture of becoming an Italian tax resident: when and where residence is triggered, how double-tax treaties actually work, what happens in the year of the move, and which of the special regimes is genuinely yours.
