🇮🇹📈 For decades, Southern Italy symbolized decline, a place where big companies never went and young people left. But that image is being rewritten.

Today, it’s becoming Europe’s smartest lifestyle arbitrage. Coastal towns priced like Eastern Europe now offer fiber internet, safety, an unbeatable climate & culture.

Tax incentives seal the deal: under 10% for professionals with the impatriati regime, 7% for retirees in small villages. It’s where a freelancer can live elegantly at half the cost of Lisbon.

If Portugal has been the nomad hotspot by definition from the 2010s to nowadays, Southern Italy might define the 2030s. The mix of lifestyle, affordability, and policy is aligning.

And it’s poetic, too. The region once known for emigration could soon attract a new wave, digital settlers bringing talent and capital back south. It won't be frictionless, but it may end up working.
