You’ll love their story
Coming to another country by yourself is challenging enough; coming with a family is a move that takes a lot of planning, patience, love, and so much more. In the Firenze Moms 4 Moms Network, you’ll find inspiring stories from moms who have taken this brave leap and moved to Italy with their families. These mothers share their unique experiences, from the initial decision and planning stages to the highs and lows of adapting to a new culture.
Florence, love, joy, and Pain
This mom wanted to share her story, where she talks about why she chose this city as her home and how she fell in love and gave birth to her beautiful daughter. Because she is currently involved in a custody trial, we will protect her identity by only using her initials in the following interview.

Gina
A Journey of Family and Adventure
She moved here from Britain in 2011 with her husband and two children: Emily, who’s 5 and a half, and Edward, who is almost 3. We moved here because my husband was offered a position with GE (General Electric), an oil and gas division in Florence.

Notes of a Songstress in Florence
She moved to Firenze, Italy, in 1990 from Canada after receiving a Master’s Degree in Vocal Performance from the U of Toronto. She traveled all this way because she was granted a scholarship to learn Italian and study with a renowned singing teacher. Living here in Italy for 23 years, she has fallen in love with the Italian lifestyle, climate, and food.
