Hello, I am Lorenzo

Project manager. Parent. Expat living in Rome, Italy.

A few years ago, I relocated here with my family. What started as a temporary contract slowly turned into a new chapter of life abroad.

How It Started

Relocating to Italy wasn’t part of the long-term plan. Like many expat moves, it began as a work opportunity and quickly became something much bigger.

The first months were intense — new systems, new routines, new expectations. Everyday tasks felt more complicated than they should.

The Adjustment Period

There was culture shock, uncertainty, and a lot of learning by doing. But slowly, routines formed. We discovered places that worked for us, met other families, and started building something that felt stable.

Why I Built Kilomav Rentaz

Most information online was either corporate-level relocation advice or surface-level tourism material. What was missing was honest, day-to-day family perspective.

This site exists to close that gap — practical guidance based on real life in Italy.

What This Site Is (And Isn't)

This site is:

  • Hands-on insights from living in Italy
  • Centered on family life and daily realities
  • Updated whenever there is a meaningful change

This site isn't:

  • Not a tourism authority resource
  • Not a sponsored review platform
  • Not a generic travel blog

Looking Ahead

Our time in Italy continues, and so does the learning journey. As long as the information remains useful, I’ll keep recording what we discover.

If you have questions about family life in Rome or anywhere in Italy, don't hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Lorenzo

Rome, Italy
