Hi,
I live in Puglia, towards the south of the Val d'Itria. Forgive me for being blunt, but unless you're fluent in Italian and a local dialect, you haven't got a hope of finding work (as in a job) here. I've just managed to get my first gardening client through a recommendation by a local, after nearly 2 years of living here.
From what I've heard, any professional qualifications are worthless. So many industries are regulated here, and the regulation in itself is a fund-raising exercise for government. Healthcare is certainly one of these industries.
Life is wonderful here, but it's very, very hard to make a living in the local economies if you're local, and nigh on impossible for us stranieri.
Sorry for the negative post. My first on this forum too.
Ciao ciao,
Jeremy.
[Edit] ...and the poisoning of dogs is rife here too. There were 30 cases in our local town last Autumn.
