Hi I am also an Architect, I have friends who live in Bolzano, and I can confirm that it is a good place to live with kids, and now there is much more work for architects, however preference is usually given to german speaking professionals, I am afraid the German language is considered more important than Italian in Bolzano. if you can speak german then it is a good option, but please visit yourselves before deciding as it is the most important town in the area but still quite small
Thank you very much Ronco for

I am based in Milan , I am surprised that you found work using only in English - and I suppose it is becasue Milan is very international, with many design and Architectural offices having work abroad, especially in the Oil rich arab states. I doubt if Bolzano will have the same amount of international clients, but maybe...anyway I imagine that the average citizen of Bolzano can speak better English than the average Milanese
The work i found In Milan

I completely understand your desire of wanting to live in Italy! I'm Italian and I spent 23 years abroad, the last 18 years in NYC. I have just relocated on September 1st with my American husband and my 2 American children to Lucca, a lovely small city in Tuscany we madly fell in love with. We also considered Bolzano because of the job opportunities and the good schools, but we felt a bit isolated. It's a lovely city where everyone is bilingual and has of course a strong German influence. Also, I grew up on the Adriatic Coast in Italy, right on the beach and after the cold winters of NY I didn't want to choose another winter location! Tuscany is lovely too. The schools are excellent and the quality of life also.Feel free to ask me any question! I know what you're experiencing right now and it's not an easy decision!
some suggestion from here
