ALOR Italy is a personal blog by an American Italian couple living in the Italian Alps. This archive includes a list of posts about moving to Italy, living in Italy, Italian food, and photography from our Italy trips along with the story of our Italian home renovation. If you’re looking for something specific try searching ALOR Italy. If you don’t find it, don’t be shy. I’m here, send an email and ask. I’m happy to answer any burning questions you might have about living in, moving to, traveling, or loving Italy!
