Project Manager pay in Italy: Milan leads, Rome trails

The Italy national median for a project manager is 100.000 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 65.600 € in Rome to 78.200 € in Milan (1.2×).

Project managers plan, coordinate, and deliver projects on time and within budget. Common screening skills include Planning, Stakeholders, Agile, and Risk.

A modeled national band runs about 64.000 €–144.000 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +7% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Italian city.

Milan sits -22% vs the national median; Rome sits -34%. 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 project manager 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 finance & business titles on this site include Accountant, Financial Analyst, Marketing Manager, and Sales Manager.
