Well, I have first hand personal experience in this. I moved to Italy from America not knowing a word of Italian (I married an Italian) and it was very difficult to find work - even if you speak fluent Italian - it's still difficult, the economy in the south especially is among the worst. I lived in Rome for 5 years and even there it wasnt easy. You can teach English though. I did that for a while and it seems that everyone from mother tongue English speaking countries does that at first. But you will only make about 4 or 5 euros an hour, better than nothing. What I strongly suggest you do is try one of the international companies (most are in Rome) where they speak English - such as WFP and FAO or IFAD - they pay great wages and speak English and it would be comparable to working in an American environment. Ive worked for one of them for a few years and it was great. Working for an Italian company would be less desirable since the pay is terrible (if they even decide to pay you) and they treat you as if they're doing you a favor just working for them for free. I worked for an Italian company teaching English for about 4 euros an hour and after about 6 weeks they still didn't pay me (this is very typical in Italy) and they made every excuse in the book as to why. "They couldn't find the key to the drawer for the checks" - "Wait until tomorrow" etc... Finally after I threatened them they payed me. I'm not trying to scare you but just to inform you to be prepared for what you may be up against. I know cleaning jobs are also popular - cleaning peoples homes. In North Italy it's easier to find work but still can be difficult. Hope it works out for ya!!!

se sei proficient-advanced ti parlo in italiano così ti alleni... un lavoro buono può essere l'insegnante di italiano per stranieri in una scuola privata come british school, british center etc... queste scuole cercano sempre nuove persone e penso non sia difficile trovare un lavoro come questo... inoltre pui rimanere in italia quanto vuoi, anche 3 o 4 mesi, anche solo per fare un esperienza particolare! io sono di roma, ho frequentato questa scuola l'anno scorso... è divertente sia per gli studenti che per i maestri. se vuoi avere info più dettagliate contattami!
