Buongiorno!  I would like to move

Why Bari?  Bear in mind you are in the south, where unemployment is rife.  Bari is a depressed large city, with big city problems.  Teaching English - are you qualified?  Do your research  before making rash moves. 

Thanks for the reply Modicasa. I know all about Bari's economical state.  From what I know about Italy, the whole country is going through a terrible recession that does not seem to be getting better.  How do I know this?  I have friends that live in Rome and I know a wonderful family that lives in Bari.  Also I of course have done a lot of the research BEFORE I came on this forum.  So thanks but no thanks for that  little bit of advice. To seriously advice someone to do research when clearly coming on a forum seeking other people advice and opinions would be part of their research.  Teaching English may not be something that I've ever done or have a degree in, but I'm sure speaking it since birth gives me somewhat of an advantage.  I have a bachelor degree in Communications Design.  I'm an artist.  While RESEARCHING online,  I discovered that when seeking employment in Italy learning how to network is the one of the best ways to find a job.  From what my friends tell me who live there, it's mostly who know.  Why Bari?  Why not Bari?  I loved the food and the people while I was there. Living in Bari and working there are two different things.  Just like in the U.S., people commute to work everyday.  I also know how hard it will be to get a work permit in Italy without having a job so I'm trying to explore every option I may have which is why I inquired about teaching English.

  To answer your question that you have already answered yourself ,you will need a Permesso di Soggiorno and a CELTA at least to teach English in any recognised institution (and earn anything like a decent salary).   Lots of people speak English as a mothertongue, it doesnt mean they can teach.    So, as you will already know, having done your research, you will need a Schengen visa, and a way to get a PdS, which you will need to sort out in the first 2/3 weeks you are in Italy.  You can wait up to 6 months for  PdS to come through so you will need to have enough money to support yourself until you are able to work.  Obviously asking questions on forums like this, when you have already done your RESEARCH, wont tell you anything you dont already know.

Hi,
in order to understand if there are opportunities to teach English in Bari, you may come in contact with private schools before leaving. Try the following ones:
http://www.wallstreetenglishbari.it/
http://www.lordbyroncollege.com/
http://www.britishbari.com/
http://www.englishcentre.info/it/english-centre-scuola-lingue-bari-bitonto-puglia.html
When you get a teaching qualification you may also teach in schools as a "lettore" or for special European projects (PON). Here is an example:

So there are good opportunities, but there is also a large community of people coming from the USA or UK. This reduces possibilities and at the same time explains that there are good reasons why people choose Apulia.
And anyway, it is much more difficult for me with my PhD to teach Italianin the USA than for you to teach English in Italy.
Good luck!
