How much would it cost to live in Italy for the summer?

Whether you need a visa or not depends on where you're from and whether you want to work. If you are not an EU citizen, it would be illegal for you to work here without a visa. If you were from Canada or Australia, there's a working holiday visa that is available if you plan to stay longer than 90 days. IThere is no working holiday visa for US citizens though. Right now, unemployment rates are high and there are not a lot of jobs available. Student visas or non-working visas are relatively easy, but visa that allow work are more difficult. The site for visas here in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site includes links to the application forms and information about what supporting documentation you need for each type of visa. You have to get the visa before you move here. If you're a US citizen, you don't need a visa at all as long as you stay no longer than 90 days and do not work while you're here.

I've been living in Italy for the past ten years. It is somewhat more expensive living here than in Colorado in the US. Living expenses, food and transportation all vary a lot depending on your life style and exactly where you are. The overall expenses for my 4 bedroom house outside Denver and the small one bedroom apartment I have here are about the same. Rent alone is over 600 euro per month. Short term rentals are likely to be more expensive. I spend about as much on food here as in the US. Taxes are much higher here and you need to file tax returns in both the US and Italy if you are a US citizen. You can get an idea of train costs here: http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/homepag... .

The exchange rate is constantly changing. right now, the rate is roughly 1 euro = $1.47. There are several sites where you can track the rate such as: http://money.cnn.com/data/currencies/ind... . In practice, you won't do quite that well because you would get a worse rate and/or have to pay a commission to exchange money.

What are some of the major problems in democracy?

“Democracy is the worst form of Governance except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time” ~ Winston ChurchillOf all the things a ‘true’ democracy promises, it certainly delivers on fairness of its nomenclature, as the ‘rule of the people’ ensures that we shall be governed no better than we deserve. The problems of Democracy are many and all are rooted in the Demos.Let us exemplify few:1) Delayed decision making Different citizens may have different, and often conflicting, expectations on governance. Politics is the art of negotiating these expectations to reach a common agreeable stance. Democratic politics rely heavily on thorough consultative process which leads to elongated delays, yet it ensures greater acceptability of the decision.  The delays can be avoided if the demos develop mutual respect and learn the give and takes of negotiation rather than taking rigid stance.  2) Populism Populist politics or fractional politics are practised only because they work. They are means to an end and not the end. It is the job of a democratic politician to garner maximum support. The product is produced for there is a ready market. The president elect Trump or Brexit, irrespective of their debatable fallacy, confirms that liberal politics is undergoing a bearish time in the mass market.3) Majoritarianism The accusation of equating democracy to ‘majority dictatorship’ is unfounded. A true democracy means the government functioning under rule of law and equal before law and equal protection of law are the basic tenets of it. Where in world a democracy was attempted without ensuring political equality to all and special provisions for minorities it failed. A Democracy without rule of law is a deception.Even with all the limitations, democracy is essential and indispensable for sustainable governance, because as man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible, similarly man’s inclination to injustice makes Democracy necessary.The rule of the people can be perfected by on boarding all in decision making process and ensuring everyone’s interest is taken care of in a balanced fashion.In conclusion, all the ills of democracy can be cured by more democracy.
