Hello,
I hope your learning Italian now, I been here for almost 3 months. It is quite difficult to cope up when no one speak decent English. But what my advice for you is to go to closest community group or charity that teach Italian language. In there you will meet expats that from different origins and country, I'm pretty sure you will find some there that has the same situation that you have. When I first arrive here this is what I did and I found it very interesting coz those are the only people that you can really speak English well and exchange ideas about Italy.

Hi, how do you like Sicily now? WE are getting ready to visit there in July, just looking around to see where we might want to buy a small place. But, we don't speak Italian either.

still love it here. there are problems like anywhere but if I had to choose between the States and here- i will gladly stay here!
Modicasa.com is an agent here . Ramsay speaks English and since he ACTUALLY lives here and is fluent you can get informed, accurate info as far as finding a property instead of some "expert" with an outside agency just visiting and mumbling thru. I have a farm for sale and it is listed with him on his website.
learn the language- no one speaks English here.

Hello, I read with interest your posting as yesterday I was looking at the very website you mentioned. Have you being living in the area for long? which is the farm you try to sell? Any thoughts or ideas you are prepared to share about the region will be appreciated. I am investigating the place (for now from far, online) for a possible future holiday and maybe down the line , for retiring.

Best wishes
