You could consider finding a federal job listing, and see what positions are being offered where you might want to live in Italy. When I was stationed in Sicily, Italy for 3.5 years, there were American Government employees who filled all kinds of positions on the NATO base I was stationed there.

I'm also pretty sure that the two (2) cities you are specifically interested in living in are home to a number of US companies that have offices/satellite operations in those cities. It depends on what field you work in.

I might try searching through Job listings on the Internet through Monster.com etc. and see what's available.

After you get the job lined up, and potential housing choices, then find out what's entailed in securing a temporary Visa to be able to legally live in Italy while you are working there. Or, you could start with the Visa information, to make sure you want to/are going to be able to qualify for a work Visa, and then start the Job/housing search.

Ask the American consulate, they will know. Google them.

Contact the Italian embassy ,Ask about short term stay visas & long term visas & entry qualifications.

Of course if you are living in England , or Ireland ~or the British Isles generally, you can go to countries in the E.U.much easier than others.~Good Luck!

This depends a lot on where you're from.

You could move freely within the EU, if you were an EU citizen. However, if you're a US citizen, you can't just show up in Italy and stay for longer than 3 months. It is illegal to work here without the proper work visa or student visa.

In general in Europe, and in particular here in Italy, you have to have a job lined up in order to get a work visa before you move here from either the US or Australia. You can only stay for 90 days without some type of visa (work, student, ...). You cannot apply for the visa while you're here and you'll need the proper paperwork from the company. Coming from the US, you'll also have to have skills that can't easily be duplicated here.

There are several on-line ex-pat sites that are good resources for researching moving to Italy; here are two to start with:

You can find similar sites for other countries. Please be aware that you will have to file taxes both here and in the US if you retain your US citizenship.
