guestItaly will tax all your income at very high rates even on dividends and retirement.
tuscan72Hi Betsy, great article, my only comment is regarding the people in Florence being rude and unwelcoming. I reckon it is too bold and general statement as many other expats living in Florence are saying that Florentines are friendly and welcoming, it depends on the people you met and experiences you are doing, I had a great time there with my family!
