The fact is, everyone has different experiences in each country. And different people find it easier to assimilate into one or the other.
Folks here can share their own stories, but that may not help you figure out which is best for you.

I can’t speak to Italy, but I know Poland has a significant fascist movement these days.
I can’t speak to Poland, but I know Italy isn’t a monolith. Not even the language is universal, though everyone understands “standard” Italian, which historically wasn’t exactly anyone’s first language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Italy
Poland has always had a bit fba Nazi skinhead problem and Italy just elected Mussolinis grand daughter..... Soooook
Italy 's current government is fascist, the current Prime Minister is very pro Mussolini.
I've been living in Poland for the last 13 years and can only say good about the country. The language barrier still exists after all that time but luckily most younger Polish speak English. It's definitely a nice place to life.
I cannot comment about living in Italy as I have only visited it for vacation a few times. It's a beautiful country and people where nice everywhere but if it comes to work, I'm sure Poland has more to offer. It's the outsourcing country of Europe. Good wages and highly qualified people.
People in Poland are friendly and cities are surprisingly international and it looks very liveable (walkable + bike lanes). If you ignore the weather, Poland is better.
Well, I'd say Portugal, actually, but I'm biased. They speak the same language of the country my parents went to on holiday and gave birth to me, so I was born there (in Brazil). Italy speaks a language in the same family, but Poland is a neighbor of my favorite country, even if they seem to be at odds with one another: Russia. (Not a Russia supporter though)
Poland ≠ Portugal

come to poland, it's closer to the amazing nordics which is where my ancestors are from.
