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"

Don't forget - IMU 1st payment due 16th June

Swiss Motorway Vignette - Online E-Purchase.

 

You can now buy a e-vignette online.  All electronic, so no sticker issued.  It work by using your car number plate. 

 

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?

Air in Radiators

As you live in the top flat, air in the system will always tend to collect in your radiators. 

I'd suggest that you bleed them every day, rather than waiting for the air to build up in them - bit of a pain, I know, but at least that should get them working more efficiently.

One other thing, if there is a lot of air in the rads, it could indicate a fault in the system, allowing air to enter it.  This is often the pump(s).  If they are old/worn, or under sized for the job, that could be a major cause.  Raise that with the porter when you speak to him.  Check the servicing frequency for the system with him.

Good luck

Plus charges for gas, water  and electrics - even when the place is empty (Standing Charges). Plus annual  gas boiler service charge (mandatory). 

How easy was it to get the COVID19 test in Italy?  Also, what type of test was it? (PCR or Lateral Flow), and what is the cost?

Glad to see that the Italian 5 day quarantine requirement for UK citizens who are double jabbed will stop on Tuesday - just get a COVID19 test within 48 hours of arrival.

Hopefully we'll get there this year.

Get a new passport in your maiden name? ( I think that's allowable, but not sure)

 

As long as you aren't in a hurry - I gather there are big delays issuing passports at present.

Are they still requiring uk residents to quarantine on entry to Italy?
