Morning - the above is the name of a local paper. We can only make it out as "The remainder of the pug" - any ideas?? Or is that some old Italian proverb - in which case, what does it mean???

Following on from discussions about researching family history and in particular Italy in WW2, I had a tiny part in this story, in that through internet research I introduced John to a local group studying their local partisans. They got in touch

OK I've slightly oversold it in teh title - but this is better than a lot of Italian websites. Check out your own spot in the new Fermo Province. http://www.provinciadigitale.it

Morning. I'm working on a translation of an Italian newspaper article about Italians assisting escaped PoWs. Can anyone help with this sentence? "Durante i mesi passati a lavorare alla Sforzesca i ragazzi conoscono anche un altro fitta volo che

I signed up to the Internazionale online without any probs - so it's certainly worth a try. And saves a fortune in calls all over Europe. I don't think there are any limitations ......
let's hope this is at least the end of the beginning
Would that be before or after the grenades had blown it up???!
I second Terry's recommendation of "Italy's Sorrow". Harrowing reading though, since it is mostly personal testimony of a bloody carnage that has always unfairly played second fiddle to D-Day. Not your region, but there is a lot of information about PoWs camps in Marche here: http://camp59survivors.wordpress.com/
Logged on to BBC website???? Do tell - if it can be used for web access as well that makes it even better!!
Bought mine in UK, took it out to Italy and downloaded newspapers daily. Came back to UK and Kindle still registered in UK. I haven't used it since my return. But I do have the 3G version.
WE don't have wi-fi in our house in S Marche but having bourght the more expensive 3G Kindle that worked fine. Halfway up a mountain last week we saw Obama on the telly in the bar and I was able on returning to the house to download The Times on a free trial to find out what was going on. Pretty cool - though the Thunderer isn't my newspaper of choice....
I'm with you Casa. Immigration is used as a political football and cheap vote-mongering. There's a case in UK this week where a woman trafficked from Moldova was sent back,despite her applying for asylum, because the authorities did not consider her at risk. Guess what? She was kidnapped again, tortured, gang-raped and re-trafficked. She's in the news because she had the gumption to sue the UK Government who have just paid her damages. It's worth remembering the human plight behind so many of these cases. And to take the long view. Remember the panic about Poles flooding the UK a few years back? Now we're complaining we can't find any more plumbers because they've gone home again! The UK is a mongrel nation and has been ever since the Normans invaded. And all the better for it...
The rules about registering even if staying in a hotel go way back beyond 2001 and I've always thought they were just unrepealed bits of fascist law - though given the Red Brigade, the "years of Lead" and the neo-fascist bombing of Bologna station I can see how they may be old anti-terrorist laws.
