Tuscan walled town northwest of Florence — anchored by the still-intact 16th-century Renaissance walls (now a 4km elevated park circling the city) and Giacomo Puccini's birthplace (1858). The Centro Storico inside the walls is the entirely-walkable medieval-Renaissance core. Italy's DNV launched 2024; Schengen. Roughly 30-40% cheaper than Florence on rent with rare medieval-wall preservation and tier-1 Tuscan-food-and-wine density. Tourist density is real summer; off-season is calm.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
