I want to go to Italy to study. I have diploma here, in Russia. But now i want to study ecology, especially birds. And I want to do it in Italy. Is there such possibility?
What should i start from?

There are many courses in Italy on the subjects of interest to you: ecologia (ecology) an ornitologia (stuying birds).

I would expect the courses available to you will depend on your knowlege of Italian but you could start from the University of Perugia, a town with a very famous University for Foreign Students wishing to learn Italian - you may be able to combine the two!

I would also suggest you contact the Italian consulate/embassy as they will be able to explain the entry/visa requirements to you better than I can. See for example:

Good luck!

Hi Zverka,

If you are looking for an internationally-accredited University, I’d suggest you to take a look at University of Padua, Physics department:

http://www.fisica.unipd.it/

Padua is really lovely, normally hosting over 67,000 students. Many of its graduates are employed by renowned American and British Universities.
I guess that if you are looking for a period of your life that joins fun and career, Padua could prove to be the right place.
Hope it helps,

Johnny

I usually watch at birds from the office window.
Does it count as birdwatching?
