Hi there, I'm Giulia
Project manager. Parent. Expat living in Rome, Italy.
I work as a project manager. I'm a parent. An expatriate living in Rome, Italy.
A few years ago, I moved here with my family. What began as a short-term contract gradually opened a new chapter of life abroad.
How It Started
Moving to Italy wasn't part of the long-term plan. Like many expat relocations, it began as a job opportunity and quickly grew into something much bigger.
The first months were demanding — unfamiliar systems, new routines, new expectations. Everyday tasks felt more tangled than they should.
The Adjustment Period
There was cultural adjustment, uncertainty, and a lot of hands-on learning. Gradually, routines fell into place. We discovered places that suited us, connected with other families, and began crafting something that felt steady.
Why I Built FreshStonePath
Most online guidance was either corporate relocation advice or shallow tourism content. What was missing was an honest, day-to-day family perspective.
This site aims to bridge that gap — practical advice grounded in real life in Italy.
What This Site Represents (And What It Doesn't)
This site IS:
- Hands-on know-how from living in Italy
- Centered on family life and daily realities
- Updated whenever a real change occurs
This site ISN'T:
- A resource for tourism authorities
- A platform for sponsored reviews
- Just another generic travel blog
Looking Ahead
Our stay in Italy continues, and so does the learning journey. As long as the information remains useful, I will keep recording what we learn.
If you have questions about family life in Rome or anywhere in Italy, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Best regards,
Giulia
Rome, Italy
