Does anyone have a recommendation for a great, non-touristy restaurant in Bologna? We will be spending one day there before heading back to the States and would like to have a really memorable lunch.

We are going to spend 3 nights in the northern part of Abruzzo (around the Controguerra area) before heading to southern Marche again. We'd like to check it out to see if we are interested in the area as a potential place to retire.

We are contemplating starting to purchase euros with US dollars, in anticipation for an eventual house purchase in Italy, which could occur anytime we find a house within the next 5 years or so.

My husband and I are Americans who recently got our Italian citizenship through juris sanguinis. We plan on retiring to Italy in 5 years or so and are working on our retirement plan to ensure that we will not run out of funds in our lifetime.

It does help, thanks very much. The cold and wet is something we are trying to avoid, since we live in New England, USA now. We get tons of snow and are hoping for something more moderate.
Thanks very much for posting the interesting blog and insights into some of Le Marche's villages. Having spent quite some time there, we are still trying to determine the best town to live in full-time when we retire. I see that you have your home in Corinaldo. We haven't visited that area yet but were curious how the weather was there in the winter and how lively the town was off season?
Have you tried looking it up under "Banca Woolwich"? I believe this is owned by Barclay's in Italy. When we were asking about mortgage information some years back, we had gotten information from them.
I don't believe that they ever went through with enabling e-mail again. See "What is Happening with Italy Community Site topic." I tried copying and pasting their various texts from May but it isn't working correctly.If you contact the company they will send you the contents of your e-mail in a zipdrive. They did so for me after I requested it several times.
I, too, have migrated over to the new forum where I have found many of the former members of this site. I highly recommend http://italy.forumotion.com for a friendly welcome and troves of useful information about our favorite country, Italia.
Isn't the private messaging something that we do not have anymore? I have requested that it be reinstated but never received any sort of response.
I couldn't agree more with the past 2 posts. The cost of a new table and the trip involved to procure it, is nothing compared to losing his friendship. You really aren't out any money anyway, as you would have had to purchase one initially if it hadn't been left to you.
While I certainly agree that you need to have the appropriate coverage, you might want to reconsider whether you really want these people as guests.
Ciao Rickardo,I mean private messaging on the website. This is what we used to have before the new format. I was able to send and receive private messages. The members aren't given the e-mail contact information but there was a link on each members information where you could send a private message. One of the other sites I frequent, http://italy.forumotion.com/ has this feature. It is great to be able to interact privately with other members and to discuss things that you may not want to in an open forum. As I stated in my original message, after corresponding with several members in the past, we eventually exchanged contact information and I now have some new friends in Italy that I see when I am over.Neither this site nor Italy forumotion give out e-mails directly to members so your contact information is safe and no one has access to it unless you personally choose to give it to them.Lisa
We have been using Auto Europe (the one based in Maine, USA) for many years and have never had a problem. We usually pick up at Fiucmicino and drop off at the airport in Bologna. In Bolgna, we have always had an early am flight and just dropped off the car and never had any issues with being charged extra, aside from the daily road tax which we were informed about in advance.They have a price match guarantee so when I have found a cheaper price elsewhere, they have confirmed it and then have given me that price or a bit better. I believe they have now changed their policy and I have to have an actual confirmed booking before they will do a price match..They also have a sister company called Kemwel and when they have a cheaper price, I use them and they have the same price guarantee.
