Don't get me wrong, Italy is the best place in the world to visit.

Extremely artistic cities such as Rome, Florence, Venice, Padua, Pisa, Bologna, Siracusa, Palermo, Taranto; a breathtaking seaside in southern Italy, Sicily and Sardinia, many of the most wonderful monuments in the world, footsteps of a glorious history every corner. Oh, Italy is so wonderful!

Italy has been literally ruined by italians, or, well, by its politicians. You should not come here to live and work, it's a suicide right now.

Salaries are amongst the lowest in EU, but cost of life here is amongst the highest.

An example, Italian average salary is 800 E/month while German average salary is 1500 E/month but the cost of life is the same in both countries.

If you're going to start an activity, any activity here in Italy, be prepared! You'll venture into months of journeys into italian bureaucracy.

In Italy, energy costs at least twice as much as in any other EU country. If you're lucky, Gasoline's price is more or less 1.85 E / Liter ( average of + 276% compared to US ).

Italy does have Fiber internet connections only in Milan and certain zones of: Rome, Naples, Palermo, Bari. Otherwise you can always choose the good ol' 7 Mega.

Most important, italian tax burden is at 53,2% which is actually a world record. Combine this with very low salaries compared to other EU countries and you'll have the receipt for poverty.
