Personally I don't see a problem with taxing second homes in Italy. It's a luxury, like owning a yacht. If you can afford a vacation home, then you should help support the local government provide roads, police protection, social services, schools, etc. Always been amazed how a poor man will you give you the shirt off his back, but greedy rich blighters demand change back from tuppence.
That sounds about right if the quality's good (rugged fabric, heavy duty mechanism). We got one upstairs, one downstairs (each 6 meters wide) for about that amount. They have a manual crank and extend outward about 3 meters
Tongue in cheek Carole. You may have missed this above from Nick Griffin, BNP Europarliament MP:"If there's measures to set up some kind of force or to help, say the Italians, set up a force which actually blocks the Mediterranean then we'd support that. "But the only measure, sooner or later, which is going to stop immigration and stop large numbers of sub-Saharan Africans dying on the way to get over here is to get very tough with those coming over. "Frankly, they need to sink several of those boats. "Anyone coming up with measures like that we'll support but anything which is there as a 'oh, we need to do something about it' but in the end doing something about it means bringing them into Europe' we will oppose." The interviewer, BBC Correspondent Shirin Wheeler, said: "I don't think the EU is in the business of murdering people at sea." Mr Griffin replied: "I didn't say anyone should be murdered at sea - I say boats should be sunk, they can throw them a life raft and they can go back to Libya. "But Europe has sooner or later to close its borders or its simply going to be swamped by the Third World."
"The immigrants need to be stopped before they get in those boats or on those trains."Why bother? Just do as Nick Griffin of BNP and his Lega Nord brethren suggest- blast the poor buggers out of the water!
The problem with abolishing ICI- Berlusconi promised (in writing, in the law) that comuni would be compensated by the government in Rome for the lost tax revenue. That hasn't happened. Now watch as services decline in your comune.
No doubt enthusiastically agrees with Nick Griffin, BNP Europarliament MP:"If there's measures to set up some kind of force or to help, say the Italians, set up a force which actually blocks the Mediterranean then we'd support that.

"bring on more berlusconi"Sorry, Berlusconi's too cozy with Lega Nord and the aforementioned MSI for me. You sound like the people willing to overlook Mussolini's "shortcomings" because he made the trains run on-time.

I'm going to go with what Charlotte (an actual lawyer) is telling me and skip italianlaw's "paralegal" version.

That's fine, but please don't take people literally when they're ridiculing "Berlusconi/Lega Nord" and their ilk.

Too late- he's PM for 5 more years and then likely President for another 20.
