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.

I think that it could work; but they will catch small fish only. The big ones have nothing to fear. On the other hand, I agree that this is not very constructive measure. More effective ones will be needed.
Basically, it is a matter of good manners to inform the owners if you cannot keep an appointment. Unfortunately, good manners start to look as something of the past. You have my sympathy, Penny. It is very frustrating and having a young child getting the house ready for an inspection is more difficult.
Clever animals! Add a few ice cubes to their drinking water. They love that.
I am repeating the information contained in the other thread, as this one seems to be concentrating all the answers: Have a look at the Unopiù catalogue: http://www.unopiu.com/structures-pergolas-and-gazebos/1068/102/ and this item in particular: http://www.unopiu.com/esdra/782/116/ But you can look at the Arles and Dafne models as well. I think that this is what you are looking for. The cover is made of polycarbonate (not plastic) as glass is no longer used for safety reasons. Unopiù has products with an excellent quality. Prices are high, but you pay for quality. I think that the nearest shop for you would be the one near Florence,: http://www.unopiu.com/espositoreDettaglio.plp?idContent=63866&idNazione=127 If you go there, have also a look at what Leroy Merlin at the I Gigli shopping Centre can offer. I saw them in France, but I cannot find them in their Italian catalogue. Good luck! Smeralda's suggestion about the blacksmith may also be a solution, particularly if you cannot find the size and shape that you need. As I said, Unopiù is expensive, but there is a big difference quality wise.
Taking into account that the geometra already has a few injunctions, it will be important to make him feel that he is carefully watched.
If a legal right of way exists, it would be recorded on the title. Sometimes it is not in full, but a reference is made to the original title where it is consigned. Read the full text and ask for a copy of the notary's title where the right of way is mentioned (I think it is expensive.... more than 200 euros for a copy unless you can convince your own notary to give you a copy. If it is not in writing... there is no official right of way.
Besides IKEA, you could try UNOPIU (www.unopiu.com), expensive but top quality and really beautiful. You could also find something suitable at LEROY MERLIN (www.leroymerlin.it) and they may have some offers or sales towards the end of the season, although the choice will be limited. Do not forget any of the BRICO shops and also CARREFOUR.
Hi Anne! I do hope that you will not have any trouble at Christmas with strikes. I will light a candle to Saint Christopher (patron saint for travellers) on your behalf. He may be able to convince the strikers
There is a thread in the old forums that has lots of information regarding Christmas food: http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums/food-drink/7954-italian-christmas.html I wish you a lovely Christmas!
Mille grazie!
Hi, we are also in Bagni di Lucca, although we do not live there permanently. Umbria is a beautiful region, I love going there and it is not too far away from Bagni.
