TheReal Housewives of New Jerseystar, 47, posted a series of videos on Instagram over the weekend, during which he takes followers throughout his apartment inItaly.
Giudice is currently living in the European country after being released fromImmigration and Customs Enforcement custodylast month. He is now awaiting a final deportation ruling.
“Where I live,” he captioned onevideothat showed the exterior of his apartment complex and its parking lot, calling it a “gated community.”
Inside the apartment, Giudice walked through his new home, showing fans his simple bedroom, office area, kitchen — including his “ugly” floral tablecloth — and bathroom–slash–laundry room.

At the end of the tour, Giudice stood on his balcony, admiring the view of the mountainside while sharing his feelings about where he is for the time being.
“I start work next week, I’m very excited — life is good,” he said. “Wish I was home, but this is better than where I was.”

In October, an immigration court ruled to deport Joe to his native Italy after his prison sentence. (Even though he has lived in the United States since he was a child, henever obtained American citizenship, and immigrants can be deported if they are convicted of “a crime of moral turpitude” or an “aggravated felony,” according to U.S. law.)
Judges grantedJoe Giudice‘s request to be released from ICE custody and move to Italy, where he continues to appeal hisdeportation order. He had already beendeniedhis original request to be released to the New Jersey home he shares with wifeTeresa Giudiceand their four daughters: Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 14, and Audriana, 10.
