Safety
Family Fit
Strong family culture with close community ties. Good public schools in residential areas. International schools available but expensive. The pace of life is Mediterranean — children grow up with freedom and outdoor living. Bureaucracy can be challenging.
Expat Fit
Large and historic expat community in Rome, particularly diplomatic and international NGO workers. Italian is essential for daily life. The impatriati tax regime can halve taxable income for new residents. Romans are welcoming but integration takes effort.
