Joe Giudice Shows Off His Apartment — It’s Not A Mansion, But ‘This Is Better Than Where I Was’

Good for you, Joe Giudice!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star seems content and excited to get back on his feet and restart his life in Italy now after running into legal trouble in the United States — and judging by the new video he posted to his Instagram account this weekend, he seems pretty pumped to do right this time!

The 47-year-old reality TV star showed off his small Italian apartment to all of his IG followers this weekend, and he was clearly proud of it. But he also noted several times how life there is VERY different from what we experience here in the United States!

Ch-ch-check out this video of the reality TV star’s new digs in Italy, and you’ll see just how humbly he’s living now that he’s back in his native country and getting back on his feet once again (below):

Not bad at all! It’s very modest, of course, and it lacks all the luxurious trappings of where Joe used to live before all the legal drama went down in his life, but things could be a LOT worse. And it sounds like the proud papa knows that, too; when giving the video tour, he narrated what was in each room, as well, and added this at the end of the clip (below):

“Go to the gym, go eat and that’s my Saturday afternoon. I start work next week. I’m very excited. Life is good. I wish I was home but this is better than where I was.”

Amen to that!

In addition to the Cribs-style tour of the inside of his house, Joe also shared the views from the back side of his gated apartment building, including where he parks his car, and he revealed a nice sunny day in the European nation:

Where I live

Not bad! Not bad, at all. Sure, it’s different from the multi-million dollar New Jersey mansion he used to live in with wife Teresa Giudice and the couple’s four daughters — Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10 — but in some ways, simpler is better than having more than 10,000 square feet to worry about. Now, if only he had his family in Italy by his side…

Joe does have some family in the southern European country, of course, and he also used IG this weekend to showcase the way they live, too. Like we said, all this is very different from what many of us are used to in America (below):

Wow!

It’s all about perspective, we suppose! Things could be a lot different for Joe, and he could be back in New Jersey living in that sprawling mansion, sure… or he could also still be in prison, and things could be worse!

We continue to be impressed with how much Joe has jumped back into Italian life, though. Good for him!
