Getting started

What is Your Bridge to Italy?

It's your companion for planning a trip, a season, or a new life in Italy. You'll find guides to more than fifty Italian cities, with real neighborhoods, costs, and housing details, plus a private workspace to plan, save, and dream. The dashboard also brings together practical information on visas, phones, banking, and other essentials, so you can find what you need anytime. New cities are added regularly. It's the warm, steady hand you wish you had when you first thought, "Maybe Italy."

How does the free trial work?

You get 7 days free, with full access to everything. No commitment. If it isn't for you, cancel before the trial ends, and you won't be charged. If you love it, you become a member, and it's all yours.

Do I need to be technical to use it?

Not at all. It works in any web browser on any device. No downloads or installations required. If you can use a website, you can use this.

Can I use it on my phone, tablet, and computer?

Yes, all three, and your work syncs across them. On a phone or iPad, you can add it to your home screen so it appears like any other app, with its own icon. Open the site, tap Share, then tap Add to Home Screen.

Membership & billing

How much does it cost?

As a Founding Member, you pay just $5.99 a month, billed annually at $71.88, a discount off the regular $96 a year. Founding Members lock in that price for as long as they stay members. It never goes up for you.

What does "Founding Member" mean?

You're one of the first to join, so you lock in our lowest price for good. If you stay a member, your rate stays the same every year, even as the regular price for new members rises later. It's our way of thanking those who believed in the value early.

Is there a monthly plan?

Yes, if you would rather pay monthly, we offer the regular rate of $9.99 per month.

Will I be charged during the free trial?

No. Your 7 days are free. You are charged only when the trial ends and only if you haven't canceled. We send you a gentle reminder before that happens.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, from your Account page, in a click or two. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you paid for, so you never lose any time you paid for. No phone calls, no hoops.

How do I update my card or get a receipt?

On your Account page, you can manage your payment details and access your receipts through our secure payment provider. They handle your payment information securely and never store it.

Using the app

What do I actually get?

Guides to over fifty Italian cities and their neighborhoods, an interactive map down to the street level, a matcher that finds the cities that fit you, and your own workspace: a travel log, trip budget planners, saved places, a vision board, a files drawer, and a restaurant saver. An information dashboard that provides essential guidance on getting a visa, renting a home in Italy, managing your phone, and more. Everything, in one place.

What is the purpose of the profile tool?

We offer this as a way to start the conversation about where you belong in Italy. It is not meant to be a "quiz." It offers three possible examples of cities that match your personality profile and is not meant to limit your choices. It's just a starter to help you dig deeper and find your place in Italy. Have fun with it; it's not meant to be too serious.

Is my saved work private, and will it be there when I come back?

Yes. Your travel log, plans, and saved places are private to you and remain so. Come back next month or next year, and everything is right where you left it.

How do I reset my password?

On the login screen, tap "Forgot Password," and we'll email you a link to set a new one. It takes a minute.

Are you adding new cities and features?

Always. This is a living app, not a finished one. New cities, new regions, and new features arrive regularly and will always be included in your membership at no extra cost. We will add many new features, including a marketplace for discounts on services and other trusted Italy-related experiences. Alexis, our artist in residence in Italy, provides each member with a monthly original artwork as a downloadable PDF that can be printed and framed. And much more to come. This is not a static guide. It's a living platform, shaped by our members and built to grow with their plans, questions, and dreams for Italy.
