🌍 About This Episode

Welcome to the How to Invest in Italy Podcast, hosted by Tom Leonard, an American living just outside of Florence.

This show is for people who think globally, act early, and want to discover new opportunities before everyone else does.

When Tom moved to Italy, he expected art, food, and culture — but what he didn’t expect was how much innovation is happening here. With more than 15,000 innovative startups across sectors like green tech, AI, and advanced manufacturing, Italy has quietly built one of Europe’s most interesting startup ecosystems.

Yet few Americans are paying attention. That’s where this podcast begins.
