Personal comments
It's more difficult than I thought. Anyway, eating in restaurants is not a good idea. We have to pay a tax (different from one restaurant to another) just for being there, called "coperto". It's better to buy food and cook at home. Internet is very expensive in Internet points, and the time that University has internet available is about 5 hours per day: It doesn't satisfy the needs of every student.

In Italy, food in general is much more expensive than in Germany. This is due to the diverse distribution system: in Italy less supermarkets can be found but more small shops with higher prices on the average.
The public transport system on the other hand is less expensive. Especially travelling by train. For travelling by car, one has to take into account that fuel is more expensive and that the highway isn't for free.

Personal spending habits
I tried to save for other activities by budgeting on food. I hardly used the telephone at all as most of my calls were incoming. Accomodation cost the same as in England in my previous house. Nightlife cost more because we went out alot although the average nightly cost of going out was cheaper than in England. Travel cost more because we took the opportunity to travel to other parts of Italy.
