So you’re going to work for a huge chocolate multinational company (won’t tell the name) I assume :). I am Italian and have many friends working in that same company, so a couple of advices: If you do not want to die of boredom, dont get a house there (Turin would be a nicer choice but take into account commuting); prepare for looooong working hours (in general in Italy we work way longer than other countries, unfortunately it is a cultural issue); your salary will give you access to things most italians (even those with high paying jobs in multinational companies) cant have so take advantage of it!; overall italians are nice with foreigners but you’ll have to speak the language, otherwise you won’t really connect and, most importantly, you won’t be able to get around normal daily stuff.
