Sorry about the gap. I am actually in Milan, staying with a friend and enduring the worst kind of weather. It's raining, almost constantly and pretty windy, but it isn't that cold. So I dress up for the rain and wind and then sweat because it's balmy - go figure.
I've spent the last couple of days meeting people, being 'interviewed' for jobs and trying to sort out whatever it is I need to do next. There is a lot of hurry up and wait which is, I guess, par for the course, but it has made me pretty anxious.
Anyway, tomorrow I'm placement testing in Vigevano and, hopefully, looking at flats at the same time. I need an address so that I can get my Permisso di Sourjoune (I think that's how it's spelt) and so that I can open a bank account. In addition I need a Codicile Fiscale (again with the spelling) which is a tax code, and I need to open a Partita IVR which means I can operate as a professional.
Luckily I have people helping me do all this BUT they are doing it in their free time, of which they do not have much.
My first priority, however, is finding somewhere to live. My friend has been very generous but I need a place of my own. Wish me luck.

this is terrible news!!!!!
permesso di soggiorno is ok
but
codice fiscale=tax code to be mentionned in every contract/transaction etc and give to the tax authorities the meaning to trace you....
partita iva= vat account similar concept as codice fiscale but for professionals-companies etc means you will have a vat position open with italy tax department and they will do the very best to annoy you with every kind of tax,payments and so on.
You will ultimately need a professional tax accountant since nobody in italy can do tax matters alone,and the accountant means extra cost.
try to register a UK ltd instead??
www.my-bnc.com is a useful link.
you know how much I have paid and how much I still have to suffer to get free from these italians sanguisughe?? = small insect who stay in rotten water and such your blood off some 11Keuro and 5Keuro still to pay!!!
do not trust any italian authority specially in tax and finance matters
mr jam who is leaving for china next monday in the aim to get a chinese resident status...
