Living in Italy Pros and Cons - Living and Working in Italy

Video Overview & Insights

Living in Italy, pros and cons... to say the least you will find many. Although you'll find that for any country you might decide to move to when moving abroad. When thinking about moving to Italy it's important to take everything into account, the big things and the small things. In my own opinion if you're getting or have already gotten dual Italian citizenship through Jure Sanguinis, I think regardless of the pros and cons it's worth getting to know your homeland a bit better. But I might just be biassed ;)

How do you move to Italy when you don’t meet ancestry requirements, can’t marry an Italian citizen, and don’t have enough money for an investor visa?

— @True_to_Caesar777

Whether you're coming to Italy because of your ancestry or if youre thinking about living in italy as a foreigner or living in Italy as an american, it's all has the potential to be a great experience. Life in Italy is what you make it.

Hey, thanks for sharing. Maybe I will be a bit too direct here but I wonder why you haven't mentioned any real cons of daily life like high taxes vs low salaries, dirty streets, disorganisation, omnipresent noise and quite dangerous roads with drivers speeding a lot. Personally I would consider all those cons of daily life in Italy and I assume you wanted to be diplomatic and just give a very general opinion. Cheers!

I just visited Italy two months ago, loved it, returned to the United States, and had a kind of reverse culture shock. I'm going back in a month to "pretend" that I'm living there (Catania and Tropea) to see if I like it enough to move there. Probably my biggest concern, being a single 60 year old man who does not speak the language, is meeting people, and specifically, dating.

Interesting point of view about skyscrapers in the middle of the biggest cities... You may consider that the oldest skyscrapers in the world are in Chicago and New York. They probably will turn 100 years old in the next ten years. In Italy, the cities (all the cities), as for the rest of Europe, are corresponding to the oldest parts of the urbanised area. Is not related to comfort, but just to age. The centre of Rome is more than 2000 years old... Milan too, with many and many layers of architectural styles and sizes built in many centuries, with rarely some modern buildings. The average of the buildings of the "centro storico" (historical city centre), are preserved and older than at least 200/900 years. And yes we are still living in medieval, renaissance, baroque buildings among of them builded before the discovery of America! Curious fact is that the archetype of the towers city as NY or Shanghai, born and rise in Italy during the Middle Age. We had plenty of cities full of very tall towers (for that time), older than 900 years! I talk about San Gimignano, Siena, Bologna, Asti, Pavia and despite the most are now hidden by tallest buildings, even Rome and Florence! You must to visit them!

I met some Italians on a bus and told them what a fantastic country they live in. They replied that Italy is a great country to visit but not to live in. Everything's expensive and there's a lot of bureaucracy!

@delta7155

i left italy for a simple reason which was econommy the italian economy and oportunity its quite low also the quantity of jobs are low and finally i would say that the transportation its not the best but the train transportation its quite slright , all of this its beacause of the governament in italy in my opinion but appart from this i can say its easily for me the best country to live in if it woudnt be for the economy.

btw the person in italy are friendly in italy
the food is the best
accomodation right now its cheep
building a family its alright
good for education
good for sports
good health care
the beaches are great
low crime rate (in my area)
finally good geografic position whch can make italy accesible to other countys.

i'm saying all of this from being born in italy and by being from a diffrent ethnicity from italians

btw racism use to be common in italy
and also even do many people are religious in italy we have something called bestemmie which dosent exist in any other country which consist of offend good or other religious figurs usually in christianity or catholic an example for this could be PORCO DIO . they are extremly well spred in italy but extremly concentrate in veneto.

thank u for reading and chose ur contry with knowladge

Don't forget the RACIST, italy is full of it. Old shity faces is everywhere, third class services all over the italy 🇮🇹. Park is full of Drug sellers teenagers. Police 🚔 🚓 👮‍♂️ (Carabinieri) is like ganster the way they talk to you. It will be a miracle if you find someone (italian) who understand English. Don't speak english if you don't want to destroy your day.

@tinahemminger1372

I enjoy your videos. What are the qualifications for an American to permanently live in Italy? Do you automatically get the free health care or is there a waiting period? Can you move there in a visit and do paperwork to stay, or is there months of red tape?

@tinahemminger1372
@

Living in Milan is probably less of an adjustment for Americans than some of the more “provincial” Italian cities. It’s more progressive and tolerant and basically a melting pot of Italians from other regions of the country.

@PaulSebastianManole

Great video. I’ve been through the jure sanguinis and have been considering moving for a few years. I’m actually quite tired of life in the US. It’s become far too expensive and sillly not worth the hustle to survive here. Housing cost of living and health care are insane and the government has become as corrupt as any other country. It’s hard to see a future here long term. What is attractive about Italy are most of the things you’ve listed. I have visited many times and my ex gf lived in Rome. I studied the langue for 3 years but have forgotten quite a bit since then. My biggest challenge to making this move would likely be finding work, but since jobs have largely gone remote I could probably maintain an income stream from abroad. I have a friend who lives in Sorrento who would help me to buy something in the region. I will likely be back to visit very soon.

Question for you what are the laws in Italy in regards to Marijuana as medication? are they totally against or are they flexible? Health care? Any content of the laws for beauty and wellness business? I appreciate any information . I am learning to speak Italian , but would love feed back I am preparing myself, for a move to Italy but wondering where to start. As an Mexican/ American I have questions about certain foods available like spicy 🌶, or certain flavors spices etc, I want to be well informed and as you said ask away! I will become a patriot subscriber 😉 thank you.

I would say "the further south you go in Italy, the more chaotic things become" rather than relaxed...

When you compare money-income don't forget that in Italy we mention the net salary, not the gross. Net after taxes, social security, national healthcare system, pension etc. It makes a big difference. One personal example: some years ago I was implanted with a cardiac defibrillator. 20 days in the hospital, the operation, 10 drugs a day. I paid and I'm paying exactly zero.

One consideration about wages: the median (MEDIAN, not average) wage in Italy is comparable to the US median wage if taxes and inevitable expenses (such as health care) are taken into account.

Clarify my doubts, If any Italian gives job offer like work permit, air tickets, food, staying from himself & advised to proceed with the clearence to spent some money around 200/300 euro .. Should any one proceed?

Hello! I'm looking to move to Italy as a digital nomad. Do you have suggestions as to how to navigate the visas and which visa I would need? Thanks!

@MG-fh6dn

I'm considering moving to italy with my family (it was my dream for a lifetime) by the program known as "resto al sud" that wants you to start your own business in low populated regions of italy such as Calabria, and I am afraid of that if it is possible to start a business in villages or these villages are not suitable for any type of business?

and also it might be silly but should I be worried about mafia or not?
