The "Living and Working" series from Survival Books is probably the most popular of its kind. And with good reason; Living and Working in Italy is packed with useful information. There are twenty chapters spread over 472 pages, neatly dividing issues such as motoring, employment, and health. Each chapter deals thoroughly with its subject. In the chapter on telephones, for example, you'll find not only the Italian phonetic alphabet, but also a key to Italian phone bills, explaining the different charges and translating the Italian. If you have children, the education chapter has a 25-point checklist of things to find out before chosing a private school.
