In Italy we have 28 days off plus national holidays
Mortgage are cheap as in other European countries and if you avoid the city center you can buy a very decent apartment for less than 250k
20km from city center you can buy a villa for the same amount
Rents are generally a bit high in larger cities (Rome, Milan, Bologna)
Salaries in tech are not that great, but there's little if no competition, if you're good you can find good deals
Banks and insurances are investing in innovation and new technologies
You get to live the Italian life style
CONS
Nobody is actually investing a lot in Italy, roughly 150.000 people are leaving every year
That leaves a lot of jobs vacant but it can't honestly be considered a plus
It's not yet a startup ready country, things are changing, but it'll take time
