Dear 123.4,
I have to warn you about one important thing on the Italian aviation market:
Italy is a lovely place to holiday in, buy nice clothes and eat good food. Working there is very different. If you're a wheeler and dealer you'll be fine. If you think that working hard at your job and being professional will give you a successful career it's not the place.
What I mean is the standards are very different to the UK, Scandinavia or Australia. If you can put up with that together with the Italian "creative" way of organizing an airline you'll be fine. "Creative" organization means hiring ramp agents that receive hardly any training and can't speak English and other interesting things...
Buona Fortuna!
