Katie's Italian!!!!!! Our Next Steps back to Italy

In this episode I take you with me to downtown Chicago, into the Italian consulate, and inside the day I officially stepped into Italian citizenship after more than 20 years of trying.

I share:

• The long, messy path to citizenship (starting all the way back in 2002)
• The church in Florence that’s been my anchor and the moment it “told” me I was home
• What really happened at the consulate appointment (and why it wasn’t the swearing‑in I expected)
• How it feels to finally be on the path to an Italian passport
• What citizenship changes for me, for Stefano, and for Truly Italy
• Our plan to move back to Tuscany, buy an apartment near Radicondoli, and build village‑based trips from the inside
• How this will shape future village weeks, slow travel guides, and the kind of support I can give you from the ground

If you’re dreaming about a deeper life in Italy, planning your own slow trip, or sitting with your own “one day I’ll move abroad” story, this episode is for you.
