Italians are gracious and friendly, providing a welcoming atmosphere for Americans moving far from their homeland.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/livingcost.org\/cost\/italy\/united-states\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cost of living in Italy compared to the United States<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is, on average, 36% cheaper. Food, rent, and transportation are all, on average, cheaper than in America, though this is likely to change depending on the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some cultural differences between Italy and America are the importance of breaks and holidays, more animated speaking styles, and emphasis on fashion. Many shops will close down for a few hours in the middle of the day for a lunch break, a stark difference from American shops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italy is home to Milan, which is considered a fashion capital. Italy is also home to many luxury designers, such as Versace, Prada, and more. That being said, Italians take fashion seriously, and it is expected for everyone to present themselves as stylishly as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is common for Italians to greet one another with kisses on the cheek. However, this is not an appropriate gesture for the workplace and more formal settings. A firm handshake and smile will do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information about living in Italy, check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/best-places-to-live-in-italy.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guide to Living Abroad in Italy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-72' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/compare-box\/css\/compare-72-new.css?v1.47' type='text\/css' media='all'\/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog\" class=\"inserter-72-link CompareNowbutton\">\n        <div class=\"inserter-72-new\">\n            <h3>Start by Comparing <br>Insurance Plans Online<\/h3>\n            <div class=\"inserter-img-box\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/compare-box\/img\/desktop.png\" alt=\" \">\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"inserter-compare-box\">\n                <p>Browse and Compare 50,000+ <br>International Health Plans<\/p>\n                <button>Compare NOW<\/button>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/a><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re an American looking for a job in Italy, it\u2019s important to know what jobs you are most likely to get in Italy\u2019s competitive job market.
