On Monday I went to the Rocca fellows get together. There were about a dozen people, mostly Rocca fellows, but also some Italian friends. About 8 people gave brief presentations on their research. At 15 or so minutes each, they were all relatively interesting, especially since the topics really varied, from medical imaging technology to learning compilers. I learned a few more of people's names. All the presentations were in English, so I only heard a little Italian...
In the mean time, I am looking at places to stay in Milan online, and sending out a zillion emails about it. The best website so far has been easystanza.it. Most of the other sites I've used including idealista.it haven't gotten any responses or very few. It's stressful to try to find a place with no recommendations and no way to check them out in person! Wish me luck!
Good luck with the apartment hunting! We hope you'll find a nice place at a reasonable price.
