Right now there's more happening in Northern Europe than in the South. I would look at The Netherlands, Germany (since you speak German), Denmark and the other 3 Scandinavian countries as well. A lot of American multinationals have set up their EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa) headquarters in Amsterdam due to favourable tax treatment by the Netherlands. In these kind of places English is essential. Dutch not really necessary in most of these offices, unless it's something like reception.
London is also a huge magnet. Haven't been there for a while so I'm not 100% sure what the current conditions are, but there is so much going on there most enterprising people find at least something to earn some bucks. Maybe consider looking for UK subsidiaries of Italian companies with a regional office in London. A company like Parmalat, say. Only downside is rent is very expensive. You will almost certainly have to share a house or flat to survive.
