WHERE BORIS™ STANDS IN ITALY

Four Italian communities are planned.

Each appears only after it passes review.

  • Planned — in review

    Aviano Air Base · Vicenza · Naples (NSA Naples) · NAS Sigonella. Local detail is reviewed community by community before it appears.

  • Written separately

    Friuli is not Campania. Local detail is reviewed community by community; depth varies and grows over time.

Checklist content and selectable app destinations are different. New app setup currently offers KMC; additional destination access is being verified.

FIND YOUR COMMUNITY

The Italian communities, one by one.

A Boris™ community is the area families actually live and work across — not a single gate. Local detail is reviewed community by community; depth varies and grows over time.

MORE TO COME

Your community is not listed? Tell Boris where you are moving and what would help.

A PLAN, NOT A SHORTCUT

Why one Italian checklist would be the wrong answer.

Friuli is not Campania. A single national checklist would be fast to build and useless on arrival, so Boris™ is not planning to build one.

01 / DISTANCE

Start with your destination.

Aviano, Vicenza, Naples and Sigonella are separate communities. Choose yours for the local guidance available, rather than treating Italy as a single destination.

02 / HOUSING

Many families live off post.

Where on-post inventory is limited, the local rental market becomes the main event — with its own documents, agents and vocabulary per region.

03 / LANGUAGE

Prepare for local paperwork.

Local forms and everyday errands may involve Italian. Keep useful local guidance close and ask the responsible office to confirm requirements.

04 / COMMUNITY

Find resources for your community.

Look for the local resources available in your community, then check unfamiliar requirements with your sponsor or the responsible office.

05 / AFTER ARRIVAL

After arrival.

Settled is designed to keep working long after the arrival checklist is finished: weekends, seasons, everyday errands.

WHAT FAMILIES WILL ACTUALLY DEAL WITH

The practical stuff, per community.

Planned for all four Italian communities. Local detail is reviewed community by community before it appears.

03

Everyday life

Utilities, waste, phone and internet, and the local rhythm — opening hours and closures that reshape a week.

04

Healthcare

How care works on the installation and in the region, and which appointments belong in the first weeks.

06

Family resources

Schools and childcare, spouse employment routes, and the support offices available at that community.

OFFICIAL GUIDANCE

Confirm the steps that apply to you.

Boris™ complements official resources. It never replaces your sponsor, your command or the responsible office.

Pet entry

Read the authority’s instructions before arranging travel with your animal. Confirm the route, species and required documents with your veterinarian; the linked guidance has its own scope.

GUIDES AND ANSWERS

Questions families ask about Italy.

Which Italian communities does Boris™ cover?

This website lists Aviano Air Base, Vicenza, Naples (NSA Naples), NAS Sigonella. Listing a community here does not mean it is selectable in a new app installation.

Can I use Boris™ today if I am PCSing to Italy?

You can download Boris, but new app setup currently offers KMC. Italy destination access is being verified. Start with your sponsor and the official offices for your assigned installation.

How much local detail is available for each Italian community?

Checklist content exists for these communities, but app destination access is being verified. Local guides and directory listings vary; follow the published links and confirm requirements with the responsible office.

Is Boris™ free?

Yes. Boris™ is free to download and use, and the core experience does not require creating an account.

DISCOVER YOUR NEW HOME

Discover your new home.

Browse local services by community. Published listings and local guides vary by destination; check the directory before relying on a service.

Weekends

What is reachable on a Saturday from your specific community — not a national top-ten list.

Events

Local calendars, seasonal festivals and the town-level things that are hard to find in English.

Everyday services

The practical list: a mechanic, a pediatrician, a vet, a place that will sort your phone contract.

Check Italy directory availability

Boris™ is independently built and operated and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or funded by the U.S. Department of Defense or any government agency. Depth of local guidance varies by community and by topic; the app shows an honest gap where a local fact is still unverified.

FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Partners help keep Boris free—and get found when it matters.

Paid placements are clearly labeled and never change Boris guidance.
