What does it really take to move to Italy on your own later in life?
In this episode of Italy Answered, Lisa Morales speaks with Stefanie Reilly, an Italian-Australian communications professional who made the bold decision to move to Italy solo shortly after turning 40.
What began as a personal journey to reconnect with her Italian heritage eventually led Stefanie to build a new life in Lecce, in the region of Puglia, and launch To Italy and Back, a relocation service helping others navigate Italian citizenship, visas, and the realities of starting over in another country.
Stefanie shares what it was like to leave a successful career in Australia, face the complexities of Italian bureaucracy, and arrive in southern Italy without knowing anyone.
In this conversation, we explore:
• Moving to Italy as a single woman
• Navigating the citizenship process
• Why Lecce in Puglia became home
• Building friendships and community abroad
• The emotional and practical realities of relocating later in life
For women considering a new chapter in Italy, Stefanie’s story is both inspiring and refreshingly honest.
