It is interesting. When the motivation to excel is taken away, people don't put forth the extra effort. I've not been to Italy, but I've seen it in other places.

Those tax rates are scary.

On the other hand, a woman I know who was German by birth, but lived in America most of her life, got Lukemia. She moved back to Germany to live with family, but was able to go to Italy to get a life-saving bone marrow experimental treatment, that American insurance companies would not pay for. After that, she had a mandated (and paid for) rehab in a German facility. Because of the treatment in Italy, she has extended her life 5 years past her expected life expectancy.
