Immigrants in Italy are happier than Italians

A recent survey showed that foreigners who came to Italy are actually much happier than the citizens of a sunny country.

According to a recent survey, 60.8 percent of foreigners rated their life in Italy from 8 to 10 points on a 10-point scale, while at the same time, only 37.2 percent of the country's inhabitants were equally satisfied. The Italian national statistical agency, which was involved in the processing of interview data, also said that the fair sex is most popular in Italy.

Most visitors (58 percent) indicated that they were satisfied with their work. The greatest pleasure from the profession in Italy comes from the Philippines and Moldova. Ukrainians and Chinese, on the contrary, admitted that the process of making money is very burdensome for them. The Istat report did not indicate why it was the foreigners who were happier in Italy than the inhabitants of the country themselves, but several more recent studies have revealed some features.

So, for example, in July, the European Statistical Agency found that people from other countries living in the country of wine and sun are more successful in finding work than citizens of Italy. It is also worth noting that this trend was most clearly manifested precisely on the Apennine Peninsula, while in other European countries the opposite pattern is observed. About 62 percent of Italians of working age in July were provided with work, which slightly exceeds the number of Italians working (59.5 percent).

Moreover, the fact that recently foreigners have been actively getting into the Italian services sector due to their desire to work and remarkable energy has been noticed. The number of new enterprises opened by representatives of other countries amounted to 44 percent of the total number of firms and companies registered in Italy between April and June. “Immigrants are willing to take risks and are willing to work tirelessly,” said Indra Perrera, head of the Roman branch of the National Confederation of Artisans, Small and Medium Enterprises (Confederazione Nazionale dell'Artigianato e della Piccola e Media Impresa ( CNA)).

By the way, the results of another study, which was conducted last year, turned out to be rather sad. According to the data received, Italians are one of the most miserable nations in Europe. Italy, a country with a wonderful climate, marvelous atmosphere, amazing nature and excellent cuisine, was behind countries such as South Korea, Chile, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman. The study showed that the happiest people in the world live in Denmark, the second place in the ranking went to Norway, the third to Switzerland, followed by the Netherlands and Sweden.

In total, there were 156 countries in the rating, and the results were calculated in accordance with the scale of satisfaction of nations in such areas as health, family, job stability, as well as the country's policy.

Italian signs and superstitions

It would seem what superstitions and signs can be discussed in a country where perhaps the most convinced Catholics in the world live. But despite the full force of their faith, Italians still can’t pass by a black cat without panic, or not look at a fortuneteller to find out the future. The fact that the inhabitants of beautiful Italy are hostages of superstition is also proved by numerous studies of sociologists.

Anthem of Italy

Since October 12, 1946, the song “Brothers of Italy” (Fratelli d'Italia) has been recognized by the anthem of Italy. The text was created by the young Garibaldian poet Goffredo Mameli (Goffredo Mameli, 1827-1849). The music was composed by the famous composer and opera tenor Michele Novaro (Michele Novaro, 1818-1885). The anthem of Italy is sometimes called the "Song of the Italians" (Il canto degli Italiani) or in honor of the poet - the "Anthem of the Mameli" (Inno di Mameli).

Buying property in Italy: what for what?

Buying a property in Italy is not only a profitable investment, but also your “pass ticket” to Europe. Without going into the bureaucratic details of applying for a visa, I would like to inform you that owning an apartment or a house in Italy guarantees a “C” type visa. Thus, Europe is open for you about 180 days a year (90 days in each half year).
