Personally, I'd suggest to take the job offer in Italy, get a year or two of relevant experience while learning more German (evening classes, online, there's an app for that, too, etc.).

Maybe spend a week or two in both Stuttgart and Frankfurt doing an intensive German language course, get a feel for both places.

Then move over. It would be a lot easier and chances for a good job increase with experience.

 

Thanks a lot for your opinion!
That's actually what I'm considering to do, even though I don't want to regret my choice in few years when maybe I'll have more resposibility here (job/girlfriend/family/friends..), than it would be more difficult take a decision to move away.
Now I don't have strong bonds where I live (Turin), and I grown up in a little turistic village few km away from the Swiss border (near St.Moritz), thus with a German-style mindset, I feel like a stranger here.
But as you said probably experience is what will be more valuable afterwards.

Maybe I should flip a coin and trust the fate XD

 

You can always apply for some German jobs and see how it goes. Also when looking for language programs don't restrict yourself to the major cities. You may find the cost of living lower in some of the smaller cities, but you're still very close to the big cities for weekend excursions etc. If you do decide to stay in Italy for a year or two, working, then sacrificing your summer holidays on intensive language classes - which could be quite cheap if offered by a university - would be a wise investment. Berlin is quite pleasant in the summer too!

 

agree with ALKB..
but why not choose for Bavaria? Munich is the most northern city of Italy...
Ingolstadt is AUDI-City like Munich is BMW with lots of automotive suppliers,
Stuttgart may be OK but in a bowl full of smog and chaotic traffic..
We used to live around Munich for several years and love it, especially for the Autobahn to Italy

 

Thanks for your opinion Tellus.

Well, Munich would be the most geographically convenient solution although probabily the most expensive one.
However, when I was there I felt that the people tend to be too proud of themselves and a bit racist towards immigrants, it seemed that in BW the people are slightly more welcoming.
But it can be just my impression, what do you think about that?
Is there any "cheap" place to live in the Munich surroundings?

 

Interesting comment about the folks in BW and Bayern. I am originally from Missouri, USA and the folks in both Länder seemed pretty nice and natural to my sensibilities

As an American I have always felt that Bavaria and BW were like Texas and the American South. Not that I like Texas at all. I felt the the cultural climate in the Northern part of Germany were too rigid and impersonal. Then you mentioned Prussian! Spot on!
