PriVATE ADVISORS tO INTERNATIONAL FAMILIESRelocating to Italy
why Italy?
A country defined by culture, connection and quality of life
Italy remains one of the world’s most desirable destinations for families seeking cultural richness, academic excellence, and a refined pace of living.
From the Renaissance heart of Florence to the diplomatic and artistic tradition of Rome, and the innovation and design culture of Milan, Italy offers a rare balance of heritage, sophistication and global opportunity.
Families choose Italy not only for its education system, but for its deep-rooted emphasis on family, community, history, gastronomy and wellbeing. It is a place where children grow up surrounded by art, architecture, language and a way of life that encourages curiosity and global perspective.
How do we support families moving to Italy?
Education remains central.
Our approach begins with understanding your family’s priorities, educational, professional and personal, then structuring a relocation that supports them in parallel.
Education remains central, ensuring continuity as children move between schools, curricula and countries. Alongside this, we coordinate the wider elements of the move, including location planning, residency considerations and family support.
Through a trusted network of partners across education, relocation and private client services, we ensure every aspect of the move is managed with clarity and discretion.
What we offer
Education first. Everything else coordinated around it.
Our work begins with school placement and extends across every practical element of the move. Each component is coordinated through a trusted partner network, ensuring decisions are aligned and delivered with precision.
School & university placement
Education is often the central driver for relocating to Italy. We support placement into leading international schools in Milan, Rome, Florence and surrounding regions, alongside bilingual and local pathways, as well as access to boarding schools across Switzerland and the UK.
This includes preparation for entry into universities such as Oxbridge, LSE, UCL, Imperial and leading European and US institutions.
We manage assessments, applications and timelines, ensuring a structured and confident transition.
Admissions and academic continuity
Alongside placement, we provide tailored tutoring, entrance preparation and academic mentorship across British, IB, bilingual and international curricula.
This ensures continuity during transition and supports entry into competitive schools and universities.
Emergency & short-notice placements
Support for families relocating quickly, including mid-year school entry and compressed timelines, alongside immediate academic support to maintain progress during periods of change.
Relocation & family coordination
Positioning your family in the right part of Italy is closely tied to schooling, lifestyle and travel. Whether in Milan’s international districts, Rome’s residential areas or the lakes and countryside, we guide decisions around location and education together.
Families relocating from London, Dubai, New York and Europe often prioritise proximity to schools, airports and established international communities. We ensure each element is aligned from the outset.

We provide discreet, end-to-end support extending beyond education, including property search, residency coordination, staffing, healthcare and introductions to legal and financial advisors.
