Try this link. The state of nursing in Italy sounds complicated, as does their various levels of education. Fluent in Italian are you?

It's an interesting read.

Visas are going to be an issue and they do not issue them for the LPN training. Need at least the BSN as well as they have a hiring freeze in place and unless you are a EU passport holder or have skills in areas that they truly need even as an RN, just are not going to be able to get the visa.

You would also need to pass a language exam in Italian and take their licensing exam as well.

European countries that still have what they call the Enrolled Nurse are actually phasing them out as well.
