If you do not have 'residence' in Italy - don't bother even trying to buy a car over there - a search of this and the old forums will throw up a myriad of postings on the problems. And the insurance in Italy will be horrendous, even if you can buy one If you are UK resident, you have two choices;- Either buy a RHD car in UK, or get a LHD one [there are companies listed on the Internet that do it at a reasonable cost] If you buy and insure in the UK - some companies do insure for more than the usual 90 days per year abroad - Saga and AA being just two [again search the old and this forums] Good Luck - you'll probably need it!
You will need a geometra [or an architect if you have money to burn] to draw up the plans etc to get the Commune's permission for the works to go ahead Plumbing, electrics and gas [if mains] will need signing off by a registered 'professional' in the relevant trade

His name is Sabino Patruno and his details are on - http://www.notariato.it/portal/site/notariato/menuitem.c75105e440fe37133d118210b1918a0c/?vgnextoid=c8f903deea51f010VgnVCM1000001b19a8c0RCRD&vgnextchannel=7eb08a18015cd010VgnVCM1000000a0a0a0aRCRD Hope this is him
I've always assumed it was for residents only - not holiday homes - but I could be wrong [apparently, according to my wife, it does occasionally happen]

The Wiki enty for black pudding in Italy is; "In Italy and more precisely in Tuscany buristo is a sausage made in the stomach of pork with pork blood and fat. It is not reheated and is often spread on bread. It's only found in the south of Tuscany in winter month and even there it's difficult to come by."
"That's a whole new thread 'What's better in Italy than America'!!!" It would be a lot easier [shorter/quicker] to list 'What's better in America than Italy'!!!
