For me the easiest way to escape from Italy was through AIESEC, a worldwide student-run organization which sends you abroad for an internship. I ended up working in Denmark, but as far as I remember there where plenty of big corporates (like Google, IBM, Microsoft) in the network, looking for interns. Other than that, you should definitely focus on networking, blogging, side projects/open source. Try not to apply via the regular channels, go and find connection (i.e. actual employees) that can recommend you to recruiters
