I've been living in Italy for the past ten years. I love it here. It's a great place to live. a lot of wonderful people, beatuiful art, architecture and music, great food, and interesting festivals. You can find numerous books in the travel section of your local library or bookstore that can give you a lot more detail than there is space for here. However, you need to be aware that it is not necessarily easy to move here. You can only be here for a maximum of 90 days as a tourist without a visa. Also, you would need to speak the local language fairly well for most jobs. Here in Europe, citizens of the EU have the right to live and work within the EU. It would be illegal for others to do so without a proper visa. The site for visas here in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The rules in much of the EU have been harmonized and will be similar. You can also check the website of the consulate that has jurisdiction over you for any country that you might be interested in. A work permit is separate - you cannot apply for that yourself. the company has to apply and they have to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job. As a result, jobs are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience. When I applied for a visa several years ago, the process took about 8 months even though it was just of transfer of the job I was already doing from the US to Italy. Your best bet might be to find a job with the office of a multinational company in the US and try to transfer from there. You're more likely to get relocation assistance that way too. You might want to consider a semester or year abroad studying here before committing to a move. One not so good thing is that the bureaucracy can move very slowly here. Getting necessary paperwork in place to remain legal can be a time-consuming process. If you're from the US, you also need to file tax returns in both countries and that can be pretty expensive.
