I'm in Italy for tourism. Can I work?

Hello, I came to Italy with a tourist visa. I found an employer willing to hire me as a laborer. I stay and work in Italy.

Non-EU nationals who come to Italy as tourists and declare their presence in the country are allowed to stay legally on its territory for the duration of the visa by or for a period not exceeding three months.Law No 68 of 2007 abolished the short-term residence permits (up to 90 days), therefore, the tourist extraue should no longer require a residence permit for tourism but must declare his presence on national territory, as follows: - If from a country extraue at the time of his entry into Italy travel to the border crossing points to be affixed on the passport stamp Uniform Schengen;- If from a Schengen country (France, Spain, Germany, etc..) Within 8 days after its entry into the national territory, must present the commissioner of the province is located in order to fill in the form of which will be released copy.During her stay in Italy the tourist extraue can not perform any work because the law requires their prohibition is not foreseen the possibility of converting the residence for reasons of tourism at work purposes.Not all permits issued to nationals extraue allow you to work, among the types specified, that enable in employment, but excluding short-term residence permits (eg, visits, business, tourism, sports competitions).Caution: The law provides for criminal penalties (imprisonment from 6 months to 3 years and fined 5,000 euros for each worker employed) paid by the employer who employs a worker to employ extraue without a residence permit or in possession of a permit residence that does not allow to work (it is the case of the declaration of presence that has replaced the residence permit for tourism). On expiry of the period authorized the foreign national will have to make regular return to its country of origin could not stay beyond the duration of the visa or for a period exceeding 90 days. The declaration of presence, formality required for all nationals who are entering extraue Italy for a short period (even for those exempted from the visa) permits a legal stay of up to 3 months, the foreign national who stays in Italy over this period is likely to be expelled, unless it proves that the retention at home and depended on serious health grounds.The employer, therefore, will not become a tourist extraue, but if it were determined to be rectified, will have to await the enactment of Decree flows and its publication in the Official Gazette and once it is possible to apply, please send, via the computerized the Ministry of the Interior, the registered request for a work permit to employment for citizens extraue.
