11309 Buona sera

[FONT=Arial]My name is Robert and I have just joined this forum, I have been visiting Italy for some time - and now with impeccable timing - I am looking to purchase a property in Umbria. Other areas have been considered and rejected for a number of reasons. I can speak some Italian having been to language school in Siena for a month. The big issues at the moment are to rent for a period prior to buying, the level of the Euro, whether Italy will remain in the Eurozone, whether to keep an address in the UK - but unlike the universal answer to all questions which is 42 - none of these are easy.[/FONT]

A warm welcome from sunny but very chilly, Umbria Robert and a suggestion that it may well be worth your while to rent first and take your time before buying.
