I'm writing my CV using
\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{currvita}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\begin{document}
\begin{cvlist}
\item[Line 1 \newline Line 2] Second column
\end{cvlist}
\end{document}
I would like Line 1 to be on a line and Line 2 to be on another line, but \newline doesn't work, I do not get an error, simply the line doesn't break. Any ideas?
You could probably just set the item inside a small tabular using makecell:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{currvita,makecell}
\begin{document}
\begin{cvlist}{Heading}
\item[{\makecell[lt]{First line \\ Second line}}] Second column
\item[{\makecell[t]{First line \\ Second line}}] Second column
\end{cvlist}
\end{document}
Note the use of extra braces {...} around \makecell to avoid confusion about the optional argument for \item and \makecell.
\makecell sets the alignment. I've used left and top. Read more about the available options in the makecell documentation.

doesn't workmeans. Does it strike and suggest ACAS talks? Does it give an error? What is the error? However, if you want to break lines here, atabularmight be more suitable than a list. – cfr Sep 07 '16 at 02:48epsfigat all. Loadhyperreflast unless a specific package requires otherwise. – cfr Sep 07 '16 at 02:57hyperrefinstead of before? – Werner Sep 07 '16 at 03:23
