Answer 3

Fruit picking in the south is akin to slave labour. Often the picking is organized by gang bosses and folks often get treated like trash. Steer clear...

I suggest you contact some of the northern wine houses and see what's available.

Finally - there is nothing really romantic about fruit picking. It's hot back breaking work. Bugs, the heat and sometimes jerk bosses. I sure do wish you the best and trust you will luck into a hard working but civil situation.

Answer 5

Best is to just go to the area you want to be working in. (Check in at the local hostel  -  Ostello di Gioventu.) Ask around. Walk/bike the countryside where crops are approaching harvest time. Hang around - that's what the Italians understand as in rural areas they aren't  into being 'in fretto'. ( In a hurry) You need to hang around to prove you are serious in your want/need for work.

Once in, it's a wonderful (the best) way of life. Work isn't everything and the Italians have a great balance of priorities between work and living.You'll enjoy the 'living ' element.

This work use to be done by illegal 'in & out' immigrants from eastern Europe. Now they can get better paid, year round,  work in NW. Europe so willing hands are needed in mid-Europe.  Go for it, the experience can be back-breaking but enormously and unforgettably rewarding (NOT financially)
