"Expats in Genoa often find the local culture to be quite different from what they are used to. The language barrier can be a challenge, as Italian is the primary language spoken in Genoa. Additionally, the pace of life in Genoa is much slower than in many other cities, and expats may find it difficult to adjust to the slower pace. The local cuisine can also be a challenge for expats, as it is quite different from what they may be used to. Finally, the local customs and etiquette can be difficult to navigate, as they are quite different from what expats may be used to," wrote a member who made the move to Genoa, Italy.
