WHAT WE DO

We support foreigners relocating to Puglia permanently or seeking a real base here, and we work with local professionals who want to serve international clients properly.

With Unlock Puglia, we want to help those who choose to be part of this region - not just pass through for a quick holiday - and support them in building a life or part-time base here.

WHY WE DO IT

We believe the international community in Puglia can play an essential role in attracting and retaining talent. 

  • Foreigners who leave comfortable lives abroad to settle in Puglia often bring in skills, a network, and fresh thinking that benefit the region.

  • Apulians who left for better career opportunities, but dream of returning, are paying attention to this new vibrant cosmopolitan environment. Giving them one more reason to consider returning as an option.

You focus on building your new life.
We focus on making it easier.

OUR
STORY

Get to Know Us

We began by independently organising initiatives that helped international residents and locals connect: language exchanges, networking events, shared dinners, and co-working experiences.

Over time, a pattern emerged: newcomers arrived with enthusiasm, but soon faced unnecessary obstacles.

Italian bureaucracy, unclear processes, and unreliable contractors often turned what should have been an exciting transition into a source of frustration.​

These challenges were not inevitable, they were preventable.

Recognising this, we decided to join forces and create a structured, reliable way to support people in navigating life in Italy while building genuine connections with the local community.
