Hi everyone,
Two years after the start of the pandemic, it is time to take stock of the evolution of the cost of living in Italy or more specifically, in the region where you live. The idea is to help people get ready for their expatriation to Italy to plan their day-to-day budget for some key expenses.
If you are a tenant, what is your monthly rent? Please give details of the type of property you are in.
How much are your monthly charges (water, electricity, common area maintenance charges, etc.) and additional expenses (mobile phone and/or internet box subscriptions)?
How much do you spend on commuting (by public transport or using your car) each month?
How much does your grocery shopping cost in Italy?
How much do you spend on health care (health insurance, consultations, etc.)?
How much are your children's school fees, depending on the type of school they attend?
What about your budget for leisure activities?
Do not hesitate to indicate other everyday costs if they could be useful to others.
Thank you for your contribution

Hi Cheryl! about the rent it depends on the apartment you will get. We're renting a bilocale apartment( 1 bedroom, 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom with two balconies). We are paying 560€ from November to April(dues including heater) 500€ from May to October.
For the electricity/water 50€ Monthly. Phone bill and wifi monthly bundle it will cost around 25€.
Commuting: one way ticket is 1.70€ but if you want to save money you can avail the monthly ticket 40€ or the annual I think it's 230€.
Grocery it depends on how many members in the family.
Healthcare is free as long as you have the tessera sanitaria. Medicines are excluded.
