TARI Tax 2024

 

Just had my TARI bill for 2024.  I used the PagoPA website to pay it online 

I had major problems with it not accepting my payment - it seemed to freeze after the card details were entered.

Travelling back from Lake Orta area in N Italy, we travelled to the Simplon Pass to reach our first overnight stop in Sion.

Imagine our delight to find that a landslide has closed the pass "for the foreseeable future"

We used to use Book Depository to get books for our Italian friends at Christmas.

Book Depository now closed.  Does anyone know of an Italian (or EU) bookshop that will accept orders from the UK and deliver to an Italian address?

I am aware that some posters on this site have got the IMU discount for UK Pensioners with a holiday home in Italy, that is not rented out at all.

If you want maximum heating efficiency, and no smoke - a wood burner is the obvious choice.  However,   -  If heating efficiency etc are not sacrosanct, there's little to beat a nice roaring open fire.  We chose the open fire - its a holiday home, not used a great deal in Winter, although we do usually do about 4 weeks in the skiing season.  The open fire is more than enough [after a couple of days warming the walls] to cause the central heating to cut off  [it's set at 21C]  You could always 'mix and match' your options - one room with the feature open fire, and the rest with wood burners.

.......it could be 90 - mathematically, if a line is normal to another, its at right angles - but that doesn't explain the '(F)' Could it be musical?
