MarcoDiAngelos website has a dualtext version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and a link to
download the audiobook in Italian. Link

Have a look at the rest of Marcos website, he has sections on listening-reading and how to use dualtext books and
audio.

This is looks helpful as, thank you!

Oh wow that's very different, guess the English isn't too important then, having a dictionary will be fine..
So is this a good 'first book' to read after MT+Assimil? Or should i stick with something else?

When the translation is that horribly off, you can easily fall back to using a dictionary. Given an adequate translation, it's a lot faster to figure out words from it than from a dictionary.

Yeah that's true. I think those bilingual texts from that site linked are quite close, they look like they'd get one to
a high level of reading over time. Interesting they have 1984 for Italian, i wonder if that'd be quite difficult to
read...
I'm going to have to stop asking so many questions as i will do Assimil+MT when i can, and try and read some of
those links to find out myself.
But from past experiences have people generally been successful with reading these sort of texts right after a few
months of intense study?
