I just heard that the Italian MotoGP pilot Marco Simoncelli has died in a horrific accident at Sepang (Malaysia) during the Grand Prix.

This is "funghi porcini" time and you will find them sold fresh everywhere. A great time to enjoy them. There are many ways to prepare them: sauces, garnishes, omelettes, pasta....

Further to previous posts and threads, I did not get an answer from Admin regarding the current status for "Northern Tuscany" group... Consequently, I decided to do something different and I requested the creation of a new group...

Could anyone explain why it is not possible to access the Northern Tuscany Group? I am supposed to be its Administrator and I have not received any information regarding this.

We are just back from a n enjoyable week in Rome and I must mention the great coffee we had at Piazza Sant'Eustachio, a sort of "sanctuary" for all coffee lovers.

We were driving around Lucca when I saw at a newsagent a headline from regional newspaper "Il Tirreno" stating that the Royal couple were coming to Lucca during their honeymoon.

I travel to San Francisco, California, quite frequently as my two daughters live there. I love the city and I have always noticed its strong Italian influence.

You can also go by train Rome/Florence/Lucca. There are local trains from Lucca to Bagni di Lucca (Fornoli station).
I would not dare doing anything like that. Years ago, I used to do composting with garden clippings but.... fish..... just too smelly. Go and buy a bag of fertiliser at the nearest nursery.
Benvenuto, Fabrizio. Best wishes regarding your future plans. Please let us know about your experiences.
Following on Fillide's post, I would be inclined to go to the notaio...
I agree with Dylano, perhaps it may be of interest to you to get a copy of the "visura" to know who is the owner of that piece of land.
Hi Mick and a very warm welcome! We all look forward to hearing more from you. Best wishes will all your future plans.
I also received a PM last night giving me the sad news. Carole was a great lady, very intelligent and a real asset in the forum. I personally feel very sad knowing that she will no longer be with us. A friend sent me this from another forum and I think that, for those of us who never met her before, we would like to see what she looked like. http://expatsinitaly.com/phpbbforum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=12859 Carole, may you rest in peace.
Don't worry, Patz, geckos and lizards know how to look after themselves. They were frequent visitors in my former house in Australia. I never found a dead lizard and I had dogs and cats.
Somebody told me that parsnips need a long, cold winter and I have never lived in regions with those characteristics. For this reason, I prefer to go to my friendly greengrocer's. Whenever climate conditions are not suitable, I do not take any chances.
Glad to hear about your successes. Regarding failures, I´m afraid parsnips are not the topic for me to give any advice; however, mange-tout could be suffering from not enough shelter or maybe the soil was too rich. In that case, they would have produced too many leaves and not enough pods.... Was this the case?
