living and working in Florence

Howdie all,

After visiting Florence o holiday this year I am really considering living and working over there. I currently live in sunny Manchester, so you can hardly blame me!

My main concerns are finding work and accommodation. I'm a graphic designer by profession but there doesnt appear to be many opportunities in Florence for this so I would settle for anything really. Whats the best way to find a cheap flat to rent? I'll be moving with my brother so we'll need a place to ourselves ideally.

For work, im considering moving over and renting for a month or so until we find something. Will a bar job cover living cost? We dont mind scraping by, pretty used to it here!

Thanks in advance
