Professor Salary in Italy

Professor pay in Italy: Milan leads, Rome trails

The Italy national median for a professor is 95.100 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 61.800 € in Rome to 74.500 € in Milan (1.2×).

Professors teach at the college level and often conduct original research in their field. Common screening skills include Lecturing, Research, Publishing, and Mentoring.

A modeled national band runs about 60.900 €–136.900 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +8% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Italian city.

Milan sits -22% vs the national median; Rome sits -35%. Relocating inside Italy for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

Italy shows about 1.5% CPI in 2025. A professor raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby education titles on this site include Teacher and School Principal.
