Since you;re in the Uk, I'll answer you in English.
I've been sending CVs around for quite a while, but only 1 company took the time to respond. So I took a more pro-active approach: I took some time off and hand delivered my CV to the Chief Pilots.
That actually got me somewhere. A couple of comapanies "promised" employment, but none were willing to sponsor me (I don't have a JAA ATPL, yet, although I'm a FAA ATP holder, typed on the EMB145, and with +3000 hours).
There are a few jobs out there, but the approach of getting an interview is very different that in the US. Don't bother calling people, and don't send CV by mail -- you need to go to the headquaters in person. Also, be advise they do things differently in Italy. For example, it took me weeks to set up an appointment with a small airline in Northern Italy. I drove to the headquarters to find out that the person I was supposed to meet was not coming in for the day. The interview is also much different -- no technical questions, but quite a few personal.

Should you need more specifc nfo, let me know.

Good luck.
