> It would work out to €500/month for room and board

€500/mo with food per month? That's suspiciously affordable. What's the catch?

(My Red Bull addiction is currently costing me ~$300/mo alone right now, seriously)

That says more about Red Bull than renting a room outside of a major metro area in a cheap country.

Compared with other popular European countries, Italy is cheap. But I don't know if it's that cheap.

The room is €200; €300 was back-of-the-napkin for general meals and it could be low, but when you buy in bulk it can be quite inexpensive and Italy is definitely cheap.

To me, the cost of buying cooking ingredients isn’t a concern in the slightest - but I don’t enjoy cooking. I’d hire a full-time live-in chef if I could afford it. But I can’t, so I mostly live-off Soylent.

I honestly have no idea why my above reply has been downvoted to -4 for simply describing my habits...
