Advice:

It will not be easy as 43.6% of people in your age group are unemployed here at the moment. Therefore, you will have to be persistent to find a job.
Overall unemployment in Italy is 12.6% btw.

Best opportunites around here (Rome) seems to be TEFL or bar/waitressing work. For the bar/waitressing work there are lots of people from the former eastern bloc who are prepared to work for peanuts so competition for vacant jobs is high but it can be done and wages will not be great.


If you are very determined you can probably find something and make it work but you may find it easier pretty everywhere else in the world with the probable exemption of Spain.

My final advice: if you do decide to take the plunge and come here looking for work, make sure you have an escape route planned in the event it all goes wrong.

and to help the OP this means 46% unemployment for his agegroup across Italy as a whole but 61% in the south!

Writing from London I'd say a lot leave.

Many for London.

Walked into one of my favourite quiet semi-secret pubs with a young Italian for a drink - pub quiet as usual - woman behind bar was Italian nattering to her Italian boyfriend.

Some lucky young Italian prepare for this flight I think by getting into a Brit university. The London School of Economics has an awful lot of Italian students.

I know someone who was at the LSE during the 60s. He said that there was a massive Italian intake even then.

Some young Italians give a member of the old guard a going over. Watch to the end.

(by the by, don't know if Italian body language is different from that of cramped Brits but maybe someone has a theory on why D'Alema has a tendency to keep touching his glasses* - have noticed it in other film/TV footage of him. * mine for starters - the glasses have no lenses in them but he thinks they make him look cool)
