Why Italy

if a single person just wanted to pick up and move to Italy, just the pack on their back passport where to?

if a person single man in their fifties,wanted to just take up and move, with a back pack, passport, and take up residence in Italy for at least a year, where would be the best places to go, to obtain moderate priced yet decent housing, where food and other living neccessities were at a minimum, to obtain furnished apts priced moderately, clothes,ect how much are utilities, are Italians friendly to americans who are not Italian,which offers more the north or south of Italy, any advice and tips on living is appreciated, thank you,

1. what about men's room and board?
2. I would go go south...I would recommend you buying a book of language before you leave. Yes they love Americans, you also can find a place at a decent rate with all included. depends on what you want. I would do some searching on here before you take off. PS good luck
3. I'm not too sure about the room and board. I was in Italy for a bit. I even stayed with a family. They were very nice to me and most of the people I met who dealt with tourists and such knew English. They really seem to respond well to someone who at least attempts to speak in Italian. I only knew hello, good-bye, excuse me, please and thank you. I really made my host family happy by trying to speak Italian.
