In the fall of 2019, symphony musicians Zeneba Bowers and Matt Walker quit their jobs, sold their house, got rid of the bulk of their possessions, and moved to Italy, all in the space of six short weeks. They were chasing their longtime dream to live and work in the country they love best, performing and organizing concerts and helping like-minded explorers travel the “Little Roads Europe” way. This delightful memoir details exactly how they did it, from finding an apartment, to securing resident work visas, to acing the Italian driver’s exam. If you ever find yourself needing to get yourself to another country with four cats, a violin and a cello right before the world locks down due to a global pandemic, this is your book!
“Yes, it’s possible to blow up your life and move to Italy! Even with modest means. Italy’s notorious red tape can be navigated. The locals will welcome you, even during a raging pandemic. While not a how-to book, this charming and touching memoir provides a blueprint for anyone who’s ever fantasized about chucking it all and embracing La Dolce Vita.”
– Leslie Dixon, screenwriter, Mrs. Doubtfire, Hairspray, Limitless, Overboard
“I Can’t Believe We Live Here is an inspiring story of two American symphony musicians trading security and comfort for time and heart. This engaging memoir is part of an emerging web of stories of hope and resilience across the world from the pandemic years. Zen and Matt’s love for Italy, music, cats and each other resonates like beautiful melodies soaring over the cobbled streets and olive groves of idyllic Soriano during their world-famous lockdown balcony concerts.”
– Dr. Tony Macaulay, Author of the Paperboy memoirs, Belfast Gate and Kill the Devil
