Cost information for Italy
The information below is not specific to Rome; it applies to Italy as a whole.
- Monthly living cost (country-level)
- No official national average living-cost figure was found. Official reference points: (1) the MUR circular fixes the financial-means reference for the study visa at 10,179.85 EUR per year; (2) the MAECI government scholarship pays 1,200 EUR per month for 9 months (10,800 EUR total); (3) ER.GO university residences in Bologna charge about 239-322 EUR per month (utilities included) for students ranked on income and merit from 16 Sept 2026; (4) DiSCo Lazio's 2026/27 scholarship for out-of-town students is 6,571.11 EUR/year plus meals. These are not living-cost estimates.Source
- Accommodation (country-level)
- University and regional-agency residences are assigned by competition on income and merit (ER.GO, DiSCo Lazio, EDISU Piemonte, ESU Padova); students not ranked use private rentals or university housing services. A visa applicant must show accommodation (booking for at least 30 days/one month, rental contract, hospitality declaration, or an assigned university residence place; merely applying to a residence does not count). A MAECI scholarship is compatible with university accommodation if no money is received from public right-to-study bodies. Example rents: ER.GO Bologna 239-322 EUR/month utilities included (from 16 Sept 2026).Source
