Additionally, what is the tax situation for an expat? What kind of tax rates are there?
Thanks!

Cost of living is all up to you. You can live in city centre and break the bank or you can commute for a fraction.
Depends what you mean by business. Sooner or later you'll need Italian. Rome is big enough you'll be able to get away with english/french/spanish for awhile but sooner or later.
Taxes basically if you're working in Italy you are subject to Italian taxes. This can vary depending on your treaty status but assume you need to pay Italian taxes.
