Hi Cameron, Yes I'm still in Treviso. If you have a job offer then you should be able to get a Permesso di Soggiorno (a work permit). Without that or EU citizenship you can't work legally. It can take several weeks to find a decent ... Read More

Hi Karen, I'm an Australian living in Treviso near Venice. The job situation in Italy is not good unless you want to teach English. Italians are really waking up to the need for a good level of English if they are going to have a future and ... Read More
