Do Italians hire non-EU citizens at all? by GuestPoster1697
Hi :) So, I have been here in Napoli for 1 year now, and, omg, it really is impossible to find a job here! No matter how good English or good Italian I speak (yes, even if I speak Italian), no matter how flexible, versatile or intelligent I am, it ...

Hi Maggie Translator and dentist is an unusual mix, however, I am not surprised that you are struggling to find work in Naples, where the unemployment rate must be amongst the highest in Italy. Moving to the north of the country might improve your ... Read More
How safe is Naples? by pinklassic
I have heard and read mixed things about Naples? Is it safe? Some say that it is the Detroit of Italy. What do you think?
