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

American/Irish student trying to work in Italy

American/Irish student trying to work in Italy?
I am a dual US/Irish citizen who will be studying abroad in Italy. Unfortunately, I will not receive my EU passport until a month into my program due to the current back log in Dublin. If I have a copy of my foreign birth's registration certificate for Ireland, will I be able to legally work in Italy at the start of my program or will I need a passport? (ps. I will be in Siena, so if anyone has any job hunting tips there let me know please) Thanks!

It's unlikely that any company will accept proof of nationality as a birth certificate only There are many clauses with nationality such as renouncing it, and acquistion (or not) depending on the year of birth etc, and many more reasons which would mean that a birth certificate alone does not mean that the person concerned is really an EU national. Proof of nationality only comes from a passport or an official national ID card. Therefore if I were you, I would contact the Irish embassy and put your question to them in the hope that they will be able to help you, or even provide an official document (providing it is confirmed that you will be provided with the passport)

I am also Irish and lived in Italy for 5 years. For 4 and three quarters of those years I begged to get out of Italy but got stuck in a tax trap there. Irrespective of what you earn you will be expected to pay more than what you earn in taxes/health insurance and other stoppages.. And you WILL get ripped off, left unpaid for work you did legitimately, abused, ignored and belittled. It's not the place to work or even think about it. If you REALLY need to study there then enjoy your course, and then get the heck out of that hopelessly corrupt and broken country.

If you are here on a US passport with a student visa, you cannot legally work here until you have your Irish passport. A birth certificate is not adequate for the reasons that Bla Bla explained to you. Right now, the jobs market is very weak here in Italy. For the next week or so, many businesses are closed here for the Italian vacation period. When you get your visa, one thing you might look into is teaching English. Many towns here have language schools that are private businesses. They tend to hire young people on short term (& low paying) contracts. The teachers are almost always from the UK or Ireland because it's illegal to hire someone from the US, Canada, etc unless they have a valid work visa and then the process for applying for a work permit requires that there are no viable candidates from the EEA. Your Irish passport will give you an advantage. Do you speak Italian? Your possibilities will be limited if you do not. You might start checking sites like: http://www.jobrapido.it/?q=siena , http://www.lavoro.org/Toscana/Siena/ , http://www.kijiji.it/offerte-di-lavoro/annunci-siena/ There is a restaurant near the main square in Siena that I know had students working in the past, but I believe that was through some summer program run by a school. It's called L'Orto di Pece. If you go behind the tower to the Mercato area, you can look down into a valley. There's a garden there where the restaurant is. Go down the passagio to the left of the tower and then turn right and go down the stairs to get to the mercato. It can't hurt to ask.
