If you can pull a great product and get sponsored like Salvatore, sure, you can match Silicon Valley and make a good living even in Italy. But you have no idea of how much lower salaries are over there and how much lower you are considered as a professional if you take a normal dev job.
For that, I have much admiration for Salvatore.

In terms of professional recognition things are definitely improving, but again you certainly do have a point.
