Italy does not have a completely free education system, but tuition fees at public universities are generally much lower than in many other countries.

- Typical tuition fees: €900 - €4,000/year, depending on the university and your family's income. - Income-based fees: The ISEE system can significantly reduce or even waive fees for students from lower-income families. - Scholarships: Various scholarships and financial aid options are available, which can further lower costs for international students.

Overall, Italy’s fee structure is designed to be accessible and affordable, especially for students with financial need.
