If you're an Italian citizen, you might consider going to live/work in Italy instead of the US. By right of citizen, you already would be legally allowed to work in that country. Also, the Italian citizenship may entitle you to work anywhere else in the EU you wish to go. While not the same as the US, you'd get nearly all the other benefits you had hoped for.

Italy is part of the EU, so Italian citizens are entitled to work most places in Europe. If you want to improve your English, I recommend working in England or Ireland instead of the US.

[Edit: removed stuff about the Schengen area]

Good luck in Ireland. You may have noticed we're in a bit of a recession here (note heavy sarcasm)... I'd wager that you'd have a difficult time finding a job in Ireland. Course both Google and Amazon have offices here so don't let me discourage you. Just be warned.

Jobs aside, I've loved the last two years I've spent here in Ireland. The people are lovely, as is the country itself. Still on the expensive side, but we're having price corrections along with the recession. :-)

Just a tiny error: Schengen AFAIK has nothing to do with entitlement to work.

Or Germany, for that matter. No joke.

Yes to this. If you want to improve your english, head to the UK. As kaizyn says, you should (as an EU citizen) have the right to work there.
