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

Thanks Ronald - done that, though for others who are as neurotic as me about clicking the right bit - I'll just say that1. Notifications is a Tab2. It says Administer Subscriptions, rather than Manage (sounds vaguely priest-like)3. You have the choice of "edit" or "drop" when you get to your current subscriptions4. If you click on "drop" it then says something very scary - "THIS ACTION CANNOT BE UNDONE" - above an unsubscribe button.5. Clicking on the unsubscribe button doesn't bring a thunderclap but does seem to remove that particular subscription! :D
I never really got to grips with star ratings and the like before. I read posts that were: - on a topic that interested me or- by someone whose postings I'd enjoyed in the past or- came up when I searched for a particular subject or- that I'd contributed to and wanted to see what responses there'd beenThere were discussions about building a bank of knowledge on certain perennial subjects - is that a possibility here - so newbies in particular can be directed to it?As to ranking ourselves depenent on number posts, length of service etc, I never really liked that. Maybe we could pick from a range of "characters" one which best describes our involvement??

Yup - no problem
Just saying hello and look forward to using this forum as a continuation of the old, in that it has provided me with new friends, lots of useful information, and, to be honest, some displacement activity in a busy day!I like the sound of a more interactive community - as someone who doesn't spend all her time in Italy it would be good to remain involved from a distance if I can.Many of us have arrived in out of the way corners of Italy which could do with the injection of new ideas and projects. Whilst some are bound to fail, or offend local sensibilities, I would like to think that this forum could assist those involved in sensitive integration into our local communities. I don't mean that we should be telling the Italians how to do things, and in fact I'm sure we'd get short shrift if we tried!
