    Questions on taking Florence as a working base

    Ciao Lourdes, grazie della tua risposta. Oh, yeah, I will be surely in Italy - either on-and-off or continuously. Some corporate culture is not good, but not all of them. My current interlocutors - two multinationals and a top 10 Italian law firm - are very reasonable. I know some Italian SMEs...

    An update on this thread: To thank Lourdes. I did travel heavily to Modena, Turin, Bologna, Padova, Paris and Venice when I was working as a legal counsel for a multinational which has relocated its headquarter to Milan. I resigned from the job bcz their corporate culture wasn't great...

    Questions on taking Florence as a working base

    She was right. I do have a probable chance now to work in Milan, but it's for a multinational corporation. For Florence and the rest of Tuscany, there is not much legal work to offer if you're a stranger to them at first. It will take time to build connections and clientele. Bergamo is only 1...

    Questions on taking Florence as a working base

    I share your view about Rome. It does feel like Florence is provincial and international at the same time. A good mix between being local and cosmopolitan may yield. Florence's provincial aspect often reminds me of Elizabeth Gaskell's novels. Many English towns were/are still provincial. Many...

    Questions on taking Florence as a working base

    Hi Lourdes, good to hear from you. I happen to see the message notification alert now. Recently, I had two American clients - one from Texas and another is a Briton naturalised in California. They told me that many Americans travel to Canada and Mexico. They didn't know that I already knew it...

    Questions on taking Florence as a working base

    You might come here for a visit in the future, and feel it by yourself. Paris is big. You shall take my words at face value. I am sure I will rekindle my love for Paris if I live there again, and I will tell you Paris is the most comfortable city in the world. You may forgive me for my...

    Questions on taking Florence as a working base

    Hello, although returned to my ''home'' Trieste, I am preparing to relocate to a major Italian city to smooth legal practice. Consequently, with that city as a work station. I try my best to avoid from choosing Milan and Turin (la mia ex-città). Florence and Bologna are under favourable...

    Do you know any independent Italian bookstores in Florence?

    I was there for over a week. The time was fairly good for a work/leisure trip. Afterwards I have been entertaining the idea of taking Florence or Milan as a base for international legal work - fly and go - as Trieste is an isolated, unsuitable town for this kind of practice. It seems you...

    Do you know any independent Italian bookstores in Florence?

    Yeah, I visit libri liberi. It has a nice atmosphere. I love its youth clima. Indeed, I had wanted to visit other independent stores you listed for me, but I had to finish some legal work. I also had to return to Trieste today for a job related to real estate acquisition conducted in a Notary...
