It's easy to fall in love with Florence, so it's not surprising that the city is one of the most popular destinations for expatriates. A famous city of art, Florence shines with its architecture, food, wine, strong identity and Tuscan dolce vita, just a stone's throw from the Chianti hills. The city also offers many opportunities for expatriates who wish to settle here. While the regional workforce has certainly been affected by the global economic crisis, in Florence, the trend is much more benign, thanks in part to tourism.
