Considering Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Naples or any other city you guys can recommend. I spent a week in Rome and while it was great, I am not sure I want to live there.

There was some dude on jdu who was apparently Mexican and maybe wealthy and a law school grad ...he used to post about living down in Mexico super cheap and spurning the American rat race
We all will, you're making fun of humankind as a whole, smarty. What will you do when you're an old barren sack of bones and leathery skin? Will you stay in your bed and cry? Lmao

Spent a few years living in Italy (Umbria). If you want a chill laidback country lifestyle then Umbria/Tuscany are CR. If you're looking for more beach vibes I'd go down to the Amalfi coast. If you want a "big" city then Florence > Milan > Rome > Naples. If you want a medium size city Look at Lucca, Arezzo, Genoa, Ravenna.
Remember The Talented Mr. Ripley? The dude (Jude Law) didn't want to go back to the US because his life in Italy was 180. Then a faggot tried to bring him back home and things got ugly.
If I want to immerse myself in the arts as a hobby (take a few classes, meet Italians, etc) and be a serious mountaineer and cyclist, would Rome or Milan be the top choice? I am not ruling out Florence but it's small.
Its Southern European in vibe but functional and organized and clean which is the exact opposite of Italy. Cheap, great food, good weather, large international presence of young people. Only downside is no beach but easy enough to get anywhere else in Spain in a few hours. Basically Spain is >>>> anywhere else to live doubt. Barcelona is also great but ultimately trashy and corrosive.
Yes but the difference between Milan and Madrid is still astounding in terms of basic organization, cleanliness, ease of life... Getting around. Milan looks like Switzerland compared to Rome, but Madrid looks like London compared to Milan.
Obviously that's main showcase street there but pretty much the entire city operates like that with functional American style organized streets, demarcated clean sidewalks, overall structure to shops. Nowhere in Italy, even the rich northern part, is organized that way and it becomes extremely grating for living after a while if there for more than a beach vacation.
I've spent a long time in Milan over the years. It's has its nice neighborhoods and own energy in a way but its extremely crowded and chaotic and ramshackle, half of the city is sparse with poorly planned 1960s era ugly tenement blocks, the subway stations are dirty and cramped and annoying to navigate, the streets are a mess overall. It would be easier living in the outer ring near Zona Risorgimento/ Porto Romana in the east or nicer Wagner area in the west, but again those areas are soulless.
Theres no reason to live in Milan if you arent doing BIG SERVICE job there or a model getting put up.
There is a reason, I want to live the Italian experience. I have the rest of my life to live in Spain, so I want 1-3 years in Italy. I have to select the top places to live that experience and Milan seems to be one of them.
I want to have access to all touristic centers but also to have several hobbies like trekking, photography, Italian, and a few art classes in person.
I will not be going everyday to visit every tourist spot and landmark, I will not make money from being a tourist guide.
You probably don't know enough about these cities to recommend it based on the above, right? You just think the place is aesthetically pleasing and clean and has some good spots and some top landmarks.
I don't have to prove it to anyone. Why would I. Plenty of American Youtubers who live here can give you a rundown of what you can find in Mexico City. As a local, I live a low key life here and don't do the kind of stuff that you would probably do (bang whores for $200/hr, lmao)
Dude, there are muds everywhere. Loud and dumb people everywhere. After 10+ years you want to see something different. My brother tried Spain for 3 years and sold everything in Mexico City and never looked back.
I can see the appeal for Americans, especially being close to home, and yes it is a 180 city. But if you're from here and you can get a citizenship in Europe and live in any European city of your choice, you will not think it twice.
If you think muds are a problem in Mexico City, I hate to break it to you about EU cities
Spain/Italy are more chill, but they're economically dead, and filled with deug addicted bums. They will play no role in the future of the world, and you can sense everyone knows that they're more or less kazachstan at this point
I don't need a job in those countries. I can chill from anywhere in the world with my digital job. Hopefully those muds will realize there aren't too many jobs there and will flock elsewhere. It kinda blows that those muds keep having offspring that needs to flee their country to a white country. So Germany is now totally filled with the trash from Syria and all the other Arab countries. Any of those countries will welcome me as an independent worker who pays taxes and contributes to the economy.
I don't even know what you're optimizing for. You hate poors. You hate being around prosperous and successful people. Just rent a shack in the muddle of nowhere and poast your life away

When did I say I hate living around the prosperous and successful? This is why Milan is on my list. The high society of Italy is there. Mexico city has 180 things but it is also so full of muds, where you have around 30 daily street vendors walk by your house selling you some shit with loud speakers. And the worst part is that the actual residents don't give a shit. They welcome them with open arms.
