How is the living environment in Italy?

Italy is a messy place with mixed people, even more so than the UK and Germany, so you should be careful.

When living abroad, there are fewer friends, and isolation and loneliness are the biggest problems.

Although Italians are ethnically complex, they are relatively easy to integrate into the local environment.

Italian prices are at a medium to low level in Europe. The price of daily necessities is about five times that in China, but in terms of purchasing power, it is about twice that, and high-end consumer goods are much cheaper than in China.

When living in Europe, visas and passports are universal. You can go to any EU country (from the UK) without going through any other procedures. It is as convenient as leaving a province in China.

Italy has a warm climate with distinct four seasons, dry summers and rainy winters. Therefore, even though the temperature is high in the middle of summer, it is still cool in the shade and indoors. It may even feel a little chilly at night.

About one-third of the days throughout the year in Italy are festivals. Some are religious festivals, some are traditional folk festivals, and some are national anniversaries. The fact that there are so many festivals is a reflection of Italians’ advocating for freedom and romantic nature, and is also a testimony of Italians’ emphasis on tradition. It also ensures that Italians can fully enjoy and enrich their lives.
