This is not the case in Italy. While Rome is probably more accommodating to foreigners than a random 100-people village deep in the Alps, Rome is also the worst mess of a city we have. Milan, Turin and Florence are probably more suited for somebody who doesn't speak the language or understand the bureaucracy. If you can afford to live there, smaller municipalities used to deal with tourists are also a good choice. At least they'll speak English. I think one of the most important things to keep in mind, if you want to move to Italy, is that Italy is a diverse country. There are places which are very open-minded and welcoming and places where people don't want even other Italians to move in, let alone strangers. Doing some research before moving will help a lot.
