Welcome to the newsletter for The Local Italy
| Buongiorno a tutti, | Everyday life in Italy is anything but dull. And as many of our readers will know, setting up home here can come with a few surprises. One reader who moved from the US to Le Marche told us of his troubles with some temperamental Italian home appliances. Another surprise for new residents can be the cost of living in Italy. While many people assume life here will be cheap and cheerful, that’s not always the case. In fact, one international study this week claims Italy is a more expensive place to live on average than Germany, and only very slightly cheaper overall than the UK.

| Italian bureaucracy can test your patience at the best of times, but adding Brexit to the mix has caused total confusion in some local government offices, as some of our British readers told us. Here’s what you should do if given incorrect information by a confused Italian official. | And there was bad news from northern Italy this morning. Two people were killed and around 30 injured when a high-speed FrecciaRossa train derailed in Lodi, near Milan, in the early hours. Here’s everything we know so far. Thanks for reading. A presto!
