Someone posted on the old forum about the thousand-year old trails used for the movement of sheep herds from Abruzzo to Puglia. I think they have a special name, but can't remember it. Anyway, a very go-ahead Abruzzese now offers the chance to wa
Has anyone seen this movie? If so, can they explain the point of it? Saw it tonight and glad I'd bought the cheap seats! Has it been shown in Italy? If so, what's the Italian verdict?
Saw this at my local fleapit this evening. Specially recommended to those of us not in Italy - it conjures up the Italian way of talking about and preparing food - I could almost taste the sparkling wine they were drinking. This is a good preci

I'm doing a bit of research on Italians who helped escaping PoWs and have come across a photo with the following written on the back:Montefalcone li 25-6-1944 (A Piceno)Mio dovere come patriota, lasciarvi a tutti il ricordoFamiglia xxxx, xxxx xxxx
I've posted about this newsletter before, in the old forum, but thought I would remind those with an interest in S Marche of its continued existence. It has now been going for a year, and a celebratory gathering is suggested in the latest edition

Thanks all. The deed is done. Angie and Sebastiano you are invited to a viewing 2nd half of June (fingers crossed!)And anyone else in the vicinity of course.....
probably any flower shop can help with notice. there are 2 in Comunanza
I've never done it but Canadian friends who spend 3 months in Italy from September always lease a car. Not the same as car hire and that's all I know but you might want to look into it.
what we need is a new form of politics, and given that Italy's system of Government is so broken, perhaps Italians could take the lead. interestig review by David Runciman of the above book in the Guardian yesterday (sorry don't know how to insert a link using a Tablet)
Whilst I agree you don't want them taking over everything, they support a lot of wildlife and that's my excuse for avoiding the thankless task of eradication (which you won't ever achieve anyway)
thanks seb i'lldrop'em a line
In one of the Abruzzo blogs (may have been this one https://www.facebook.com/lifeinabruzzo?fref=ts) I came across a wonderful description from the mid 19th century by an English traveller about the transhumance in Abruzzo (or "the Abruzzi" as they seemed to call it then). Best of all, he was travelling by horseback and with a little terrier! I don't have the document to hand, it's on my bookshelf in Italy, but you may find an Abruzzo resident will come along in due course. I'll go and look you book up now. I have a special interest in italians' experience of WW2 and am always looking for more books on the subject
Thanks Sebastiano - a trip to Santa Vittoria for me then!
you DEFINITELY need a good one of those. And probably a lawyer. Don't know the Italian system but in the Uk courts and tax aythorities routinely look behind the paperwork to ascertain the actual position. Just because a contract says someone is working as a freelance doesn't mean that will be accepted. If actually the coditions are such that they look like an employee, then that is what they may turn out to be. I use antonio del gaizo who has offices in uk and italy and understands both systems. his advert is above
