2. Advantages and disadvantages of life in Italy

The advantages of living in Italy

If Italy was not a special place, it wouldn't be such a popular tourist destination, and there must be many places worth visiting. There are many reasons why you might want to move there, such as:

Health care is cheap and of high quality.

Like many European countries, Italy has a national medical insurance system. Because of its excellent nursing, it was rated as one of the top ten medical and health care systems in the world by the World Health Organization. Almost all medical expenses are included, which means there is no out-of-pocket expenses. Although public hospitals are sometimes overcrowded or wait too long, medical care in Italy is generally efficient and absolutely affordable.

Food is the next level of wonder.

The Italian day is arranged around food, which is one of the favorite topics of Italian locals. There are pasta, cakes, espresso, ice cream, pizza and so on. If you think you like Italian food in your country, please wait until you have real Italian food in Italy. No wonder Italian food is sold in restaurants all over the world-it is delicious and classic comfort food. Italy also has a culture of using fresh and high-quality ingredients, which will only make food taste better. If you decide to move to Italy, please be prepared.

It is easier to obtain citizenship than in many countries.

Like most countries, obtaining Italian citizenship requires residence. However, although the standard is 10 years before you can apply for Italian citizenship, if you have some Italian descent, it can be shortened to 4 years. If your parents or grandparents are Italian, you may not have any residence requirements. If you dream of becoming an Italian citizen, it may be closer and easier than you think.

Nightlife is rich and colorful.

Italians like to stay up late. There are prosperous clubs and restaurants in Italian cities, and there is an absolutely charming custom in Italy called Passagiata or strolling. At that time, people would dress up and walk on the main road for a long time, eating ice cream all the way, just to see and be seen. At the end of your passagiata, you can have a cup of espresso or drink, watch others go out for a walk and continue chatting with friends and family.

Buying a house is not that complicated.

Although technically, you need a valid residence permit to buy real estate in Italy, there are some big exceptions. If you come from a "reciprocal country" that allows Italians to buy real estate, you can buy real estate in Italy without a residence permit (this applies to Americans). This is good news, because 70% of Italians own their own houses, and you are trying to integrate into the local culture, right?

The school is great.

Italian public schools are free for all children, who have been learning to read and write since they were three years old. Children receive a very comprehensive education in Italian schools, including art and history education, because both subjects are considered very important. Italian universities are world-class in quality, but they may be expensive for non-local residents.

The cost of living is not bad

Italy is famous for its high prices, but once you really live there, you will find that the monthly expenses are not too high. Even in cities like Rome and Milan, a person's average annual expenditure (excluding rent) is less than 1 10,000 euros. Even a large apartment in the city center usually rents less than 1 0,000 euros per month. Wages in many industries will exceed the average cost of living in Italy, which means that most people can live a fairly comfortable life.

Opening a bank account is very simple.

As long as you have all the necessary documents (including valid identification and address proof), you can open a bank account in Italy without even becoming an Italian resident. Unfortunately, you will almost never be able to open an Italian bank account online, especially as a foreigner, so you will not be able to open an account after a field trip to Italy.

Disadvantages of living in Italy

No place in the world is perfect, including Italy. Living there has some disadvantages, which you must consider before choosing to move. Here are some things to remember that are not good for Italy:

The lease is really long-term.

If you plan to settle in Italy, you are absolutely sure that you want to stay for a while. Although there is a "temporary" lease of 18 months, the long-term apartment lease is usually at least three years. Some leases even last for four years. If you rent an apartment in Italy and think it is not suitable for you, unless you violate the lease contract, you may be in trouble and may be expensive.

The unemployment rate is high.

Compared with other parts of Europe, the unemployment rate in Italy is slightly higher. As of August 20 17, the unemployment rate was 1 1.2%, so it may take some time to find a job in Italy.

The streets may be dirty.

Graffiti is very common in big cities in Italy. Overcrowding and tourists equal a lot of dirty things. Although many blocks are historical buildings, it may be difficult to see through the soil.

The weather will really change.

As Italy is a big country extending from north to south, the weather in different parts of the country is very different. The mountainous winter in the north is cold and humid, while the winter in the southern Mediterranean is much milder, but summer may become hot and dry. No matter where you live in Italy, you may not be able to maintain stable weather all year round.

There may be a language barrier

In big cities in Italy, quite a few people can speak English, but in small villages in rural areas, few people can speak English. National pride is deeply rooted, which means that the local people insist on speaking Italian. But, hey, it's a good excuse to learn a new language, right?

For entrepreneurs, getting a work visa is very complicated.

If you plan to do business in Italy and you are not from other EU countries, you must apply for a self-employment visa. However, there is no fixed qualification requirement, and visas are issued according to specific circumstances. This means that you may have to invest some time and energy in this process without knowing whether you are qualified or not.
