Is it lower than America? I'd like to live there, and be very unproductive, like the rest of the country.

In fact, I want to live in a little villa and sell flowers. And have very few material objects.
Does Italy use Euros now? Urgghh...

Italy is huge, and the cost of living varies accross the regions.
Yes, Italy is using Euro's.
Italians work very hard, but also find time to enjoy life ... day states at 7:00 AM work till 1:00 PM ... then lunch from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM ... then work from 3:00 PM until 7:00 or 8:00 PM. Government takes over 1/2 of earning to pay for social services.
Venice is extreemly expensive ... you can probably rent a room (10' x 10') for about $1000.00 USD (850,00 Euro's). You would be sharing the apartment with up to 4 other people, and the living room would be converted into a bedroom for another person to pay rent.
Rome is even more expensive ... you could try living in the country side like Umbria (similar to Tuscany), and work in the vineyards (Tuscany is very expensive too).

where do you live? if you wanna live in an unproductive way stay away from Italy, you must work hard pay rent !!! (deb room and bathroom from 400€ per month...workers earns about 900/1200€ per months)...but if you feel bad hospitals don't let you die on the street,don't need an insurance...
than, it depends, i live in Italy but I've been to NYC 2 years ago... Northeast Italy is more expensive, also big cities... food priced are similar, dresses in Italy are much expensive...

LOL. Are you crazy? Cost of Living in Italy is very bloody expensive. Think about the taxes, living costs, transit services, etc.
In my opinion, living in North/Central/South America is way cheaper and the costs are much lower.
Think about the currency exchange.
