CV template for Italy (Italian curriculum vitae format)
Short answer
Olivia suits an Italian CV in marketing or other client-facing work: a blue header band, a three-line profile, skills, experience and education, closing with the authorisation to process personal data that EURES says CVs sent to Italian companies must contain. Sapienza University's career service caps the CV at two pages. The fictional sample is a digital marketing specialist in Milan.

Why Olivia suits an Italy resume
Olivia prints the profile, skills, experience and education in turn and puts the custom section last, exactly where the data-processing consent line belongs. Its full-width blue header band stands out when a recruiter opens the file, which suits a marketing application.
Second choice: Daniel. Daniel keeps the same section order with grey heading pills and no colour band; choose it for a quieter look.
What goes in each section, in Olivia's order
Olivia prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.
- Professional Summary. Sapienza's career service suggests summing up in three lines who you are, your strengths and the sector you want, and says languages or a professional goal can feature here too.
- Skills. Give each language a level and any certificate, as Sapienza's example does with English at C1, and describe your level with each tool. The University of Bari's placement office also asks you to state your languages and how well you know them.
- Work Experience. Most recent first. Sapienza suggests weighing whether studies or experience deserve more prominence, and notes that internships and occasional work can matter; after a few years in work, as here, the jobs lead.
- Education. Degree, university and dates, with the thesis topic if it is relevant. Sapienza treats the final grade as optional and advises against listing individual exams.
- Data processing consent. EURES says CVs sent to Italian companies must contain permission for personal data processing under data protection law, and Sapienza's example ends with exactly such a sentence, then the date and a signature.

How to make the sample yours
Keep it to two pages
Sapienza's career service sets two pages as the maximum, and Bari's placement office says one or two. Trim old internships first.
Sign and date it
Sapienza tells students to include the data-processing authorisation and to sign and date the CV. Resumity templates print no signature line, so add the date and your signature in Word under the consent sentence in the DOCX file.
Photo: your call
EURES says there is no need to attach a photograph unless it is requested, while Sapienza suggests a sober, passport-style photo to personalise the CV. Resumity templates print none; insert one in Word in the DOCX file if you choose to.
Leave salary for the interview
The University of Bari's placement office says the CV should carry no reference to pay, which is discussed at interview.
Add references only if you have them
Sapienza advises listing references only if you really have them, and asking your thesis supervisor or employer in advance.
Keywords to keep where they are true

Mistakes to avoid
- Sending a CV without the data-processing authorisation that EURES says CVs sent to Italian companies must contain.
- Listing every university exam; Sapienza's career service says to avoid it.
- Writing salary expectations, which Bari's placement office says to leave for the interview.
- Claiming a language level you cannot hold a conversation at. Bari reminds applicants that a CV must be truthful.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the privacy consent line on an Italian CV?
EURES says CVs sent to Italian companies must contain permission for personal data processing, and Sapienza's career service tells students to include it and sign and date the CV. The sample's last section shows the wording.
How long should an Italian CV be?
Two pages at most. Sapienza's career service sets that maximum, and the University of Bari's placement office says one or two.
Should I attach a photo to an Italian CV?
Advice differs. EURES says there is no need unless one is requested; Sapienza suggests a sober, passport-style photo. Resumity templates print none, so add one in Word to the DOCX file if you want it.
Do I have to use the Europass format in Italy?
No. EURES describes Europass as a European template you can fill in on its portal after registering; Sapienza simply asks for a concise, clear layout.
Should I include my degree grade?
It is optional, according to Sapienza's career service. Include it when it helps, and leave out the list of individual exams.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Olivia PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 5 section headings and all 7 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
