What happens when you trade the fast pace of city life for a slower rhythm by the Adriatic Sea?
In this episode of Italy Answered, Lisa Morales speaks with Dustin Cox and Luigi Albanese, a creative couple who left Toronto in 2024 to begin a new chapter in Abruzzo, one of Italy's most up-and-coming regions for those seeking a different quality of life.
After years of balancing demanding careers in Canada, they found themselves longing for something more meaningful: time, creativity, community, and a closer connection to family. Today, they're navigating the realities of everyday life in Italy while building careers, learning the language, and dreaming of opening an artistic B&B that celebrates the culture and beauty of Abruzzo.
With their move still fresh, Dustin and Luigi offer an honest perspective on the excitement—and challenges—of relocating to Italy, from bureaucracy and learning Italian to discovering why slowing down has become one of life's greatest rewards.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Why they decided to move from Canada to Italy
• Choosing Abruzzo over Italy's more well-known regions
• Learning Italian and navigating Italian bureaucracy
• Finding community in a small town near Pescara
• How a slower lifestyle has transformed their creativity
• Their vision for an artistic B&B showcasing authentic Abruzzo
• Why Dustin prefers the term ”immigrant” over ”expat”
