2024 hello from Oregon, USA

Hello, I am an Oregon firefighter, and I would like to purchase a vacation home in Italy in the future. I am just now entering the research phase, so I will look forward to any information I find from your site. I come from an Itallian family, and I have strived to return our family to our Itallian traditions.

Hi there and welcome, where in Oregon you are? I have a bunch of second cousins in USA and most of them in your home state

Hi

Whereabouts are you looking to buy? Are you returning to where your family was based?

I'm not Italian, nor from the USA, did spend 11 years in Ontario, Canada, though, during my childhood and we visited the States on many occasions but not Oregon.

Good look in your search.

Welcome dangelo :)

I think your plan of a home in Italy is very exciting. I come from an Italian family too. As a matter of fact my mother lives in Florence (Oregon) and my sister lives in Rockaway Beach.

Good luck with your search. I admire firefighters, and I can imagine being one in Oregon can be a very difficult job at times. Where abouts are you from?

Dee... and John

Benvenuti,
Nice to have you part of this forum. I strongly believe in keeping our great Italian roots. My great grandmother was from Italy and I to would like to get back to the old country.
Good luck with your searching

Ciao,
John

Thank you for the welcome. I live in Grants Pass, and as far as where I am looking, I have just started looking. I am going to Iyaly in 2007 for five weeks, and I hope to explore various regions at that time. But that being said, my first thoughts is a home in a small town that I can visit once a year, until I retire and spend 2-3 months a year.

Benvenuto! Two concerns at this point for me would be to try and hook up with some of your relatives in Italy as this may well be a place you would like to have your house and to obtain your Italian citizenship in the meantime as this will save you some euros and many headaches.
