What do expats in Perugia appreciate most about the local culture?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Perugia. They wrote...
"People in general, just walking around town, are not glued to their cell phones. People relate with one another. I often encounter Americans and sense a defensive posture, an guardedness. Italians are very welcoming and effusive. The social fabric are stronger. They have "family values" here. I also like not understanding the language well, It gives my brain a rest. If English is spoken all around me, I can't help but tune in and make judgments and get caught up in other's drama. Here, languages flow around me without my mind giving it meaning. I feel more free here, and less bombarded with media frenzy," remarked another expat who made the move to Perugia, Italy.
"Expats in Perugia appreciate the city's rich history and culture, which is evident in its architecture, art, and cuisine. They also enjoy the friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the city, as well as the relaxed pace of life. The city's vibrant nightlife and numerous festivals are also popular among expats, as they provide a great opportunity to experience the local culture and meet new people. Additionally, Perugia's close proximity to other cities in Italy, such as Rome and Florence, makes it an ideal base for exploring the country," explained one expat living in Perugia, Italy.
