The founder's story

Built by an expat. For every expat after him.

This app started as a personal solution to a bureaucratic wall that millions of immigrants in Italy face every year.

How this started
The story behind Driving Freedom
The Beginning
I moved to Italy without speaking Italian at all.
Like most non-EU immigrants, I didn't think much about my driving license at first. Then the 12-month limit hit: I could no longer drive in Italy on my Iranian license. To drive again, I had to start from zero — theory exam, practical hours, everything.

The Wall
I went to an autoscuola.
They quoted €700 for the theory course. The lessons were in Italian. The instructor was kind but we had no way to communicate. I sat through two lessons understanding roughly half of what was said. Then I stopped going.

The Hack
I built my own study tool.
Not an app — just a personal system. Italian law on one side, my own Persian notes on the other. I recorded audio for myself. I mapped out the 25 chapters. I drilled the vocabulary. I studied in 10-minute sessions on public transport, in waiting rooms, between work calls.

The Result
Then I sat the theory exam, and I passed.
What I spent: €120. I never went back to the autoscuola for theory lessons. I realized I am not special; I just had the technical skills to build my own solution. Most speakers of other languages in Italy do not have that option.

I realized
I'm not the only one
Every English, Persian, Arabic, Bengali, Urdu speaker in Italy faces the exact same wall. The law gives you a hard deadline. The system gives you no support in your language.
