Hubby and I spent many wonderful vacations in Italy, so in 2017 we decided to purchase a vacation home there. We found exactly what we were looking for in the picturesque village of Colledimezzo, in Abruzzo, the southern part of Italy. We fell in love with that beautiful village, and its residents, so in 2020 we decided to retire early, sell our home and worldly possessions in Colorado, and move to Italy. Yes, we moved in the middle of a world pandemic. Speak Slowly, Please…I’m English relates the adventures of our move. It is an amusing, frustrating, and emotional tale that explains the trials, tribulations, and sheer happiness of residing full-time in Italy.
