You have no idea how much I envy you right now! Don't worry about the language - most Italians under the age of 65 speak English better than many Americans do - just about everybody studies it in school, and they take it very seriously because it's the international language of business.
When I was younger, it was my dream to retire in Italy. But now my roots here are pretty deep - kids, etc. At the rate things are going, though, I think my retirement home will be a little plot of land, 6' x 2', doesn't really matter where.
