🏡 **Living in Viterbo: Between Truth and Wonder**

Some people end up in Viterbo by chance. Others seek it out. But those who stay, do so for love.A love that isn’t easy—but it’s real.

⚖️ The raw truth: Viterbo without filters

Viterbo isn’t the city of “everything is perfect.”It’s a city of contradictions, of delays, of slow waiting — but also of light-filled corners you won’t find anywhere else.

❌ The struggles

Transportation? A romantic disaster.If you think you’ll reach Rome in half an hour, think again. Two train stations, few direct routes, slow connections.

Job opportunities? Limited, especially for the young. If you dream big careers, you’ll likely have to move.

Public services? Basic, improvable. It’s not Milan, it’s not Bologna.

Real estate market? At a standstill. Great for buying, less so for reselling.

💘 So… why move here?

Because Viterbo doesn’t buy you—it wins you over.Step by step, with its silence that speaks, its stones that remember, its gestures that are simple and profound.
