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.

Well, he (Zilli) obviously knows how to promote his business, which does not necessarily mean that his cooking is any good. But then, some people like to go to "fashionable" restaurants, even if what they serve is not particularly memorable. I notice that Zilli has not been awarded any Michelin star. On the other hand, Locatelli has.
What seems to be clear, at least for me, is that the old generation should retire to allow the younger ones to prove their worth. Italy is full of mummies, both right and left.
I totally agree with you, they do not have a clear leader...or then, they may surprise us. It will be interesting to watch.
Thank you, Badger. My mistake. The link is www.comunebagnidilucca.it and you have to enter the Rete Civica section.
There is a recent publication in the Comune's site regarding heating device and systems www.bagnidilucca.it (Rete Civica)
Yes, you would need approval.
Yes, I agree with Fillide. After 5 years ownership, whether prima casa or holiday home, no capital gains tax. At least for the time being.....
I think that this confirms what a local geometra told my husband, that they were trying to update the "catasto" because, as from next year, taxes will be calculated on the habitable area of the house, instead of the built area. As we updated everything about a couple of years ago, we have nothing to worry. Actually, we may end up paying less as our walls are more than 70cm thick!!!!
Hi, if you enter the words "register UK car" where the "Search" button is (top, right hand side), you will find lots of information. Someone may help with your specific questions.
Hello and welcome! What an interesting ancestry! I am not in your area; however, I am certain thatmembers in Lombardy would be able to assist. Best wishes regarding your future plans.
