Field notes

Tourist crush is the structural problem — central rents got distorted by short-term lets and the 2024 city-council Airbnb cap is only just starting to bite. San Frediano (Oltrarno) and Campo di Marte are where nomads actually base. Same Italian DNV / Schengen story as the rest of the country.

Visa for nomads

Low nomad-friendly

Pathway

Schengen 90/180

Program

Typical max stay

3 months

Schengen 90/180 — Italy's 2024 DNV is limited (€28K minimum, hard documentation); most stays still run on Schengen-clock.
