Will I save money living in Tuscany?

"The cost of living in Tuscany can be less expensive than many areas in the United States, especially when compared to major cities. Housing tends to be cheaper in Tuscany, and the cost of food, especially fresh produce and local products, can also be less expensive. Public transportation is widely used in Italy, which can save you money on transportation costs compared to owning and maintaining a car in the U.S. However, it's important to note that salaries in Italy are often lower than in the U.S., and taxes can be high. Additionally, some services, such as internet and cell phone plans, can be more expensive in Italy. Therefore, whether or not you save money by living in Tuscany will depend on your lifestyle, income, and spending habits," said another expat in Tuscany, Italy.
