I'm afraid the answer to that one is "it depends." If you were working for a big multinational company that wanted to transfer you to Italy, getting a work visa would be a piece of cake. Getting one on your own is probably even harder than it seems, thanks to the current economic crisis. Young people in Italy are having a hard time finding jobs (particularly first jobs just out of school), and they have priority in the hiring process.

No need to give up completely, though. When you get your MBA, go for a job with a multinational company and make sure they know of your interest in working overseas. It won't happen right away, but you could put yourself on a career path that would include overseas assignments. (Having a language or two at your disposal would make it even more likely.)
Cheers,
Bev
