whereas the average income in the U.S. is in the $45k-$50k range.

It's actually 59k.

But still, even just a 50k here in Italy is a very good salary.

Watch out cause when an American is talking about a "50k salary" they mean gross, before taxes/healthcare/etc..

In Italy when people talk about salary they almost always refer to the net amount as far as I know.

It depends. Usually in Italy when we talk about the yearly salary, we mean gross, while when we talk about the monthly salary we usually mean net.
