About Puglia Everyday

Puglia Everyday is an online magazine about visiting, living in and moving to Puglia, the heel of Italy. It is written by a family who live here. We came as outsiders, we still notice what locals take for granted, and we have learned the region one market morning and one Questura queue at a time.

It is for anyone dreaming of Italy, or already living the dream: a first trip, a long stay, a full move or a life already set up here. It is also for travelers passing through and locals who want a clear explanation of how things work. Puglia is our focus because it is home. Many are already doing their own research, often with ChatGPT open in another tab. We want to be the source you check that research against: specific, current and honest about what we know.

What we cover

• The Towns: where to base yourself, from Lecce to the Valle d’Itria, and what daily life is like in each place.
• The Move: visas, residency, the codice fiscale (tax code), healthcare and the paperwork in between.
• Stone & Key: buying and renovating a home, with notaries, surveyors and deposits explained.
• The Ledger: costs, budgets and tax for people who earn, spend or retire here.
• Life Here: the weather, the holidays, the language and the rhythm of the year.
• Table & Vine: markets, olive oil, wine and how people eat.

What you can expect

Every guide is fact-checked before it goes up. For rules, fees and deadlines we go to official sources, such as the Agenzia delle Entrate for tax, INPS for benefits, the Regione Puglia and the local comune (town hall), and we link to them so you can check for yourself. Each guide we have reviewed shows a “Last updated” date, and we recheck older pieces as rules change.

We take no paid placements. No business pays to appear in our guides, and we don’t run sponsored reviews. When a figure is our own estimate, we say so and explain how we got there.

Our guides explain how things work. They don’t replace a lawyer, a commercialista (accountant), a notary or a doctor who knows your situation.

The Insider, coming soon

We are preparing a weekly digest called the Insider: a short letter from Puglia with the news, rule changes and seasonal stories that matter if you are planning a trip or a move. More details soon.

Editorial standards and corrections

We write independently, keep opinion separate from fact, and correct errors openly. When we fix a mistake that changes the advice in a guide, we update the article and its “Last updated” date.

If you spot something wrong or out of date, please tell us through our contact page or at hello@pugliaeveryday.com. Include the page address, what needs fixing and a source if you have one. We check every report against official sources.
