I am an American girl, who is high school might move to Italy with my family. Where is a good place to learn the language, get a reasonably good job (for my parents), and is easy, or not difficult, to fit in? Specifically Venice, Volterra, Florence, Rome, Milan, or Vienna. BTW, don't have to be THAT specific, though appriciated...

Vienna is not part of Italy.... It's Austrian. In Italy, generally speaking, the North is richer but more expensive then the South. Generally speaking, places such as Naples, are hotbeds of crime (Mafia) and are quite poor compared to the North. The richest city (in size and per capita) would probably be Milan, however it is not suprisingly more expensive. However, it is much cheaper then say Venice. Rome is in the middle of Italy, and doesn't have too many special things, it isn't really too crime-ridden or poor, but it is very crowded. Also, in most of Italy, homes tend to be small and cars small too. By good jobs, it depends on what your looking for, and what they are qualified in. If it has to do with finance, Italy is not a good place at all, Italy doesn't even have a stock index that is regularly mentioned. I personally like the Alps, near Austria or Switzerland, but those are more for people who don't need to work.

Neither you, nor your family, can just decide to move to another country. It's necessary to have a job offer first, in which case the employer may help relocate the family, or the family needs to migrate. To get a job your parents will need to have skills that are not available from within the Italian workforce or with workers from another country. So, unless your parents have Italian passports or passports from another EU country, and speak fluent Italian, it will be impossible for them to get jobs in Italy. Even if they were eligible to apply for long-term visas they need to show that they can provide financial and health support for the entire family without working, or seeking help from the Italian government. You might want to check out visa conditions before going any further. The Italian Embassy website has links to Italian Consulates which detail the different visas: http://www.ambwashingtondc.esteri.it/ambasciata_washington Not sure where you got your list of places in Italy. How did you pick Volterra, it's a very small town. Do you even know where it is? And Vienna is the capital of Austria, not a city in Italy.

To make friends, smaller, less touristy places are better. But they have less jobs of course. It's probably best to search international jobs sites, or US companies that have bases in Italy to see what the work options would be, then look at the places those jobs are in (most likely Milan or Rome).
