Three women, three continents, one Italian adventure.
La Dolce Vita Unfiltered explores reinvention, resilience, and reality through the eyes of three women who left everything behind for life in Italy. What began as a search for beauty and balance became a journey of discovery, growth, and unexpected truth.
Through candid, cross-cultural conversations, we talk about what it really means to start over in a new country, navigate identity, and find purpose in the chaos and charm of everyday Italian life. From friendship to bureaucracy, language to love, nothing is off limits.
This series is honest, humorous, and deeply human. A reminder that “the sweet life” is never perfect, but it’s always worth it.

Resources and Real Stories
Moving abroad comes with more questions than answers, and we have made enough mistakes to prove it. Our blog shares honest stories and practical tips from three women navigating life in Italy, covering visas, passports, codice fiscale, post offices, permessos, apartment contracts, culture shock, and everything in between.
Through our own experiences, we hope to make the process easier for anyone beginning their own Italian adventure. Think of it as a living guide built from trial, error, laughter, and lessons learned along the way.
​
If we can save you a few hours at the questura, a long wait at the post office, or one confusing conversation about apartment contracts, then it is worth it.

The Unfiltered Blog
We have built a digital space for honest stories, cultural insights, and everyday discoveries from our lives in Italy. From visa wins to post office meltdowns, our blog will be a place to laugh, learn, and connect with others who are figuring it out too.
​
Here you will find practical guidance and personal reflections on life abroad, including how to apply for a permesso, set up a codice fiscale, navigate the post office, rent an apartment, or find community in a new country. It is equal parts diary, survival guide, and resource library, written from experience and shared with care.
​
We are not experts, just three women figuring it out as we go, documenting what works, what does not, and what we wish we had known sooner. If it helps you feel a little less lost and a little more inspired to begin your own version of la dolce vita, then it has done its job.
