I am American but want to spend a year or so living and working in Italy before college, where would be a good place that is like a very small city with relatively cheap apartments and random work opportunities I.E. even working at something like a vineyard.

Pavia .. it's near Milan,it has a university, quite good especially for Medicine (Policlinico Hospital S.Matteo) , students for parting a room, small city, rises along the Po river . You can search job in a vineyard in Oltrepo Pavese (which means Pavia's beyond Po) , starting in mid august for the high quality Pinot nero (red) until mid october (white grapes) . Pay is about 6รข‚¬/hour starting at 8-8,30 in the morning. Out of this seasonal job you need to be qualified and speak italian, and technical italian about enology, to propose yourself . It's worth a try to search job in micro-breweries which are mostly in the north of Italy, yes I'm talking about beer, you can find a list here for Lombardia region : http://www.microbirrifici.org/Lombardia_birrifici_regione.aspx . These breweries often run a bar .

being american you've no chance.. you need to have a job before you go to italy or you will not get a working visa... so I'd worry about a job first before worrying about where you'll live

Merate o Vimercate: their are very near Milan, but at the same they are very nice and small... Merate is a bit nicer but Vimercate is cheaper. www.comune.merate.lc.it/ http://www.comune.vimercate.mi.it/ merate is 30 mins away from Milan Vimercate 20
