Low Prices in Italy entice Americans to relocate
A New York businessman notes Italians often plan to stay longer in the U S while Americans could gain more for their money in Italy. Genoa offers affordable six room flats with baths and electric light for 200 to 300 dollars yearly, and Palermo tempts with five room apartments for about 140, plus cheap food, wages, and transport.
