Welcome back to A New Life in Italy! Today, I’ve got a truly special guest and an incredible conversation lined up for you. If you’ve ever dreamed of moving to Italy, not just for the beautiful views and pasta, but to actually start a family and raise children here, then this episode is for you.

I’m sitting down with none other than Georgette, the creator of the popular blog A Girl in Florence. G

Hello and welcome to another episode of A New Life in Italy, where we explore all aspects of living and thriving in Italy. I’m your host, and today we have a special guest joining us—someone who has been a key voice in the expat community in Florence long before the influencer wave even began. I’m talking about none other than Georgette, best known by her blog and social media presence as A Girl in Florence.

Georgette is an American who’s been living in Italy for over 15 years, and she’s built an amazing life here with her French husband and their daughter, Annabelle. But here’s the twist—Georgette’s journey didn’t end when she made the move to Florence. In fact, she’s now navigating a whole new chapter: raising a child in Italy.

What does it really take to raise a family in a foreign country? How different is parenting in Italy compared to the U.S. or even Switzerland, where Georgette and her family lived for three years? And what is it like to raise a child in a city as historic and vibrant as Florence?

We’re going to get into all of that, and trust me, you won’t want to miss the insights Georgette has to share about juggling motherhood, cultural adaptation, and finding community in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

So, whether you’re dreaming about raising kids in Italy or just curious about what life is like as an expat parent, stay tuned. This episode is packed with honest, real-life experiences and tips that might just inspire your next move.
