Surgeon pay in Italy: Milan leads, Rome trails

The Italy national median for a surgeon is 278.000 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 184.000 € in Rome to 213.000 € in Milan (1.2×).

Surgeons perform operations to treat injuries, diseases, and deformities. Common screening skills include Surgery, Anatomy, Clinical judgment, and Precision.

A modeled national band runs about 177.900 €–400.300 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +3% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Italian city.

Milan sits -23% 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 surgeon 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 healthcare titles on this site include Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Physician, and Pharmacist.
