Hello, not sure if this is the correct place to post this. My husband and I are moving to Mantova in August to live. I was wondering if there were any people living near this city who would like to meet for a chat and a coffee sometime. We will not know anyone and it would be nice to meet and hear about other people's experiences of life in Italy. I know this is the Milan page but this is the best fit for our location.  Thanks

I want to ask a question about a town in the Liguria region.  Angloinfo provides 3 regions - Milan, Rome and Tuscany.Is this region (Milan) the correct place to post a question about Liguria..?Dan

Dear friends,I have tried emailing recruitment consultants directly to ask for complete transparency and an honest answer but to no avail..Please can someone offer or help me.I want to relocate to Milan next year but family and friends all warn me that it's the worst place to move to given the current status of the Italian economic climate.  I fear I will be unemployed and have made the wrong decision for leaving my London life behind me... I'm not from a techincal or highly trained background whatsoever.  I am employed as an Executive Assistant / office support administrator.  I dread the thought of becoming an au pair or embark on a TEFAL course as it's simply not what I want to do. I want to study Italian at a Milan based language school and then be placed thru their internship placement for 3 months unpaid work in a sector of your choice. The school have given me no indication if it leads to paid employment.  Also to get honest, first hand advice is like pulling teeth from a recruiter based in Milan. Can anyone advise me their honest opinion/advice of being on the same posit as me!? Know how the job market stands for office support roles. Thanks so so much x
