I’m working on setting things up, so everything is ready for the handover of the house on Friday and the move in on Tuesday. Karina is still in Germany getting the cats ready and helping my parents. One big open item is home insurance.
I picked up a coffee maker plus chargers built for Italian sockets, so everything plugs in on day one.
The big lift was banking which is necessary of utilities. Setting up a Revolut account for Italy took more effort than expected: without the standard documents a resident would have on hand, I had to work around the usual onboarding path. The systems here assume you’re already settled, and we’re not quite there yet.
I got an Italian cell number but my tests at the house showed that all providers have a very weak signal at the house.
