What a Month Costs in Southern Italy, Rent Aside
One older couple's month in Italy's South, from ISTAT's 2025 household spending survey: groceries, the power and gas bills, an espresso and a pizza in Naples, transport and a bus pass in Cagliari, set beside what older U.S. households spend (BLS, 2024). The notional rent inside ISTAT's totals and what each survey counts are explained; dollar figures and ratios are our calculations.
Every number in the video is listed below with where it comes from and the date we checked it. Numbers we calculated ourselves are marked as our calculation. If a page has changed since then, please tell us in the comments under the video or at [email protected], and we'll correct it.
What we said, and where it comes from
Our calculation
IstatData dataflow 31_740_DF_DCCV_SPEMEFAM_COICOP_2018_4, DATA_TYPE SPESA_MEDIA (mean monthly household spending, current euros), COICOP_2018 ALL, 2025: REF_AREA ITFG (Mezzogiorno: Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicilia, Sardegna) × HOUSEHOLD_TYPOLOGY COUP_WH_C_PRGE65 (« coppia senza figli con persona di riferimento 65 anni e più ») = 2135.97; ITCD (Nord) × COUP_WH_C_PRGE65 = 3164 (difference 1,028, said 'about a thousand more'); ITFG × SMB_GE65 (person living alone, 65 or older) = 1552.12. The head of household is 65+; the partner may be younger, and the household need not be retired. The total includes the notional rent of owners (C2). Households resident in Italy only: the survey says nothing about newcomers from abroad. No sampling error is published for household type × area. Our conversion: 2135.97 × 1.1208 = 2,394.00 (C17).
Our calculation
Report, Glossario: « Affitto figurativo: è una componente non monetaria della spesa per consumi delle famiglie che vivono in abitazione di proprietà, usufrutto o in uso gratuito » … « rappresenta il costo che queste dovrebbero sostenere per prendere in affitto un'unità abitativa con caratteristiche identiche a quella in cui vivono ». Tavole allegate, Prospetto 5, column « Coppia senza figli con p.r. 65 anni e più »: SPESA MEDIA MENSILE 2816.25; Affitti figurativi 721.84 (25.63% in the same table's share block). Our ratio 721.84 / 2816.25 = 25.6%, said 'about a quarter'. ISTAT publishes this split by household type only for Italy as a whole; for all southern households (Prospetto 1, Sud 2025) the notional rent is 491.04 of 2215.48 (22.2%), and IstatData _8 gives 503.56 of 2256.46 for the South and Islands together. The video does not compute a southern older couple's cash month. Report, Glossario, right after the definition: « In accordo con le Linee guida internazionali » (the notional rent is included following international guidelines; the comparability purpose is our plain-English gloss of why imputed rent exists: so that households who own and households who rent are measured alike).
Our calculation
IstatData _4, SPESA_MEDIA, 2025, ITFG × COUP_WH_C_PRGE65, COICOP 01 (prodotti alimentari e bevande analcoliche) = 548.15 (North ITCD 592.06). Food bought, not meals out (restaurants and hotels, COICOP 11: 49.32). Our conversion 548.15 × 1.1208 = 614.37; per person 307.18 (C17). Spending, not prices.

BLS CE 2024, Table 1300, column « 65 years and older » (means): Average annual expenditures 61432.0; Food at home 5251.0; Electricity 1703.0; Transportation 9538.0; People (average number in consumer unit) 1.8. Our math: 61432/12 = 5,119.33; 5251/12 = 437.58 (÷1.8 = 243.10); 1703/12 = 141.92; 9538/12 = 794.83. A consumer unit is roughly a household; the group includes everyone 65+, retired or not. 2024 data against Italy's 2025; the 2025 tables are due 10/29/2026 (review).

National, preliminary; revision of 2022–2025 planned for December 2026. A price level compares the same basket at market exchange rates; it says nothing about incomes.
Report p.3: « Rispetto al Centro-Nord, la spesa delle famiglie residenti nel Sud e nelle Isole, che generalmente hanno minori disponibilità economiche, si concentra maggiormente su beni e servizi destinati al soddisfacimento dei bisogni primari, quali, ad esempio, i beni alimentari. La quota di spesa totale destinata a Prodotti alimentari e bevande analcoliche, che in media nazionale si attesta al 19,8%, nel Sud raggiunge il 25,4% (24,1% nelle Isole) ».

ARERA press release, Milan, 09/29/2026: « Nel quarto trimestre del 2026, la bolletta elettrica per il ‘cliente tipo’vulnerabile servito in Maggior Tutela aumenterà del 37,3% rispetto al trimestre precedente. » « L’aggiornamento riguarda unicamente i circa 3 milioni di clienti vulnerabili attualmente serviti in Maggior Tutela. » « Dal 1° ottobre 2026, il prezzo di riferimento dell’energia elettrica per il cliente tipo sarà di 43,43 centesimi di euro per kilowattora, tasse incluse ». National, regulated service only; most households buy on the free market at other prices. Our conversion: 43.43 × 1.1208 = 48.68 U.S. cents.

IstatData _4, SPESA_MEDIA, 2025, ITFG × COUP_WH_C_PRGE65, COICOP 07 (trasporti) = 174.58 (North 315.17). COICOP 07 covers buying vehicles, fuel, parts, repairs and other vehicle services, and passenger transport services. Insurance is not in division 07 in COICOP 2018 (it sits in insurance services), while BLS transportation (C4) includes vehicle insurance: not a like-for-like line, so the video sets the two side by side only as 'getting around' and does not compute a ratio.

CNN Travel, 10/21/2024: « Monthly expenses in the US before leaving were between $4,800 to $5,000 a month. In all we are about $3,000 less monthly living here in Italy, » says Tony. Our subtraction: 4,800–5,000 − 3,000 = 1,800–2,000. Our approximation: 2135.97 × (1 − 0.2563) = 1,588.5 € × 1.1208 = $1,780 (C1, C2, C17); ISTAT publishes no notional-rent split for older southern couples, so this is a rough check, said as 'near'. Their figures are their own, for one household. Same article: « The pair, both of Italian descent, bought a three-bedroom home in the coastal town of Scalea, Calabria, after seeing an online advertisement. »
