Does anyone know around how much skilled carpenters are paid in Italy? How is their economy compared to ours?
I need to know if we can make a living there, we are moving to the northwest side of Italy (Genova area) and my husband is a skilled carpenter, I know around how much cost of living is, but I need a rough estimate of the amount of income we should expect to generate? Has anyone lived there, or knows someone who lived/lives there? How is thier financial situation? Thank you for the help… I worry!
Province of Como or most northern regions of Italy are considered more affluent and consequently,the workers gain higher salaries to support the higher cost of living.
Self-employed people may wish to join the Unione di Commercio, which provides a range of information and assistance for the self-employed .
Please consult the website cited below, to learn more. I hope that yr husband has applied for the proper authorizations and license required for a sole trader or self-employed individual.
Note: You should never be tempted to start work before you’re registered, for which there are stiff penalties, which may include a large fine, confiscation of machinery or tools, deportation and even a ban from entering Italy for a number of years.
Good Luck.
