E-mail information on a visa for Italy can be obtained at visas@itwash.org. To obtain work in Italy it is necessary to obtain both a residence permit and a worker registration card, rather than a visa. The Italian work permit application process must be begun by the company in Italy that hires the worker. The Italian work permit cannot be applied for by either the employee or a recruiting firm or a job agency.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Italy guide.
