everyday life in Italy 11 — why Italy is designed to keep you stuck
This vlog is from early January, and honestly, it turned into something I didn't plan to say out loud. I was dealing with Italian bureaucracy again. Trying to get one simple document for a small business I'm opening. What happened next reminded me of something I've been noticing for years living here: Italy isn't just slow.

From someone who loves Italy and has lived here for 7 years, and still gets stopped by a system that wasn't designed for people who want to build something. 00:01:45 the reality of Italian bureaucracy 00:03:12 why Italians leave Italy — and how the system keeps itself old I post vlogs about real life in Italy — not the postcard version.
