Art and architecture obsessives, Italian language learners, people who want Tuscany as a base with city infrastructure. Smaller than most expect — you can walk everywhere.
The entire city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site and also a functioning city. You will be living inside the world's greatest open-air museum and eventually find yourself annoyed by tourists blocking your commute to the supermarket.
Cost of living is moderate — not cheap, but manageable on a decent remote income. Climate is seasonal but manageable — winters exist but don't dominate. Bureaucracy is a serious obstacle — expect frustrating paperwork and opaque processes. The city is highly walkable and you can live here without a car. The rewards for exploring are exceptional — layers of history, culture, and surprise around every corner.
Binary signals — not scores.

The Oltrarno neighbourhood across the Arno is where Florentines actually live and eat. Cheaper, less touristed, and the view back to the Duomo is better from this side.
These are the numbers. But numbers don't move to a new city — you do.
