Graeme Warring, who previously traveled extensively for his work in MotoGP, decided to relocate from the US to a more balanced lifestyle in Europe. He settled on Tuscany, Italy, and purchased a neglected, six-bedroom historic villa in Pistoia for approximately 45,000 euros (just under $50,000) after taxes and fees. The property required significant renovation, which Warring undertook with a budget of around 150,000 euros. The extensive work, which included replacing the entire wiring and plumbing systems and the roof, aimed to modernize the centuries-old villa while preserving its original features like tiled floors and balustrades. Warring actively participated in the renovation process. By November 2024, the main renovation was complete, and he had moved into his new home, closer to many of the MotoGP events he covers.
