Online banking

We are renovating in Celano,Abruzzo. Can anyone tell me if they could recommend a bank in Italy ( current account) for direct debits etc.. ) That can be managed from the uk using an online banking? One with English language option would be good as well if possible. We need this for our utility bills. Enel are our temp building supplier , set up by the builder, and are sending the bills to our home address in the uk, does anyone know if the other utilities could do the same or even easier send by email? Thanks Ali

Lasting Power of Attorney

Submitted by hazy on

As I'm getting older and living alone in Italy I'm thinking about when I finally go doolally and can't take care of my own affairs.
I have info about creating a lasting power of attorney if I and my daughter, who would have the power, are both resident in the UK but I understand that this is not the same if I am resident in Italy. Does anyone have experience or information as to what happens under these circumstances?
