Well I'm one American who would rather live in the EU ... unfortunately every country has its warts and I need to be careful of "grass is greener" syndrome, butttt ... looking through my rose-colored glasses and ignoring any warts, I'd rather live in France, or Italy if Italy could overcome a few things ... like periodicially getting in trouble with the EU over pollution levels, violence against migrant farm workers, the seemingly perennial issue of regional organized crime syndicates (which for example poison the environment in Campania and threaten to turn Sicily into a literal desert in this era of climate change), some undying level of pining for Benito, a significant lack of public investment in protecting historical sites in some regions, and the wealth/infrastructure/et al. disparities between northern and southern Italy, among others
I hate it when I idealize a place, look into it, and that erodes my idealized notions ... but literally every country has problems I am guessing, I suppose it is a matter of how much can you live with, in order to be around the aspects you appreciate
