Hi again, future European homeowner!
There is a universal, deeply ingrained psychological shift that hits on the first week of September. It doesn't matter how old you are, or where you live in the world - when September rolls around, you feel the sudden, undeniable urge to get your life together.
It is the "Adult Back-to-School" instinct.
Normally, we satisfy this urge by buying a brand-new planner that we will meticulously use for exactly three weeks, or by deciding that this is the month we finally start meal-prepping on Sundays. We organize our desks, we clear out our inboxes, and we tell ourselves we are hitting the reset button.
But let's be honest: buying a new set of highlighters isn't going to fundamentally change your life.
If you actually want a fresh start, you need to think a little bigger. What if you channeled that September reset energy into buying a historic townhouse in Puglia, or an Asturian stone house, or an apartment with a private balcony on Lake Como?
This week, we bypassed the stationary aisle and went looking for properties that offer a real, tangible reset. But if you’re looking at a full reset, that includes your EU residency too - check out the Italy Program from our friends at Bitizenship:
A second passport is becoming as smart a move as a second house
Bitizenship's Italian Investor Visa gets you EU residency for a €250k equity investment in an Italian startup, and here's the part most programs don't offer: your investment is only required after your visa is approved, not before.
No minimum stay requirement to keep your status. If you're already eyeing Italian property, this could be the faster path to actually staying long term.
