Some people do not seem to suffer the consequences of a world crisis. A Chinese gambling magnate has just paid US$ 330,000 for two white truffles, the largest one from Tuscany and the other one from Molise, at a charity auction.

Hi! My youngest daughter, Natalia, helps as a volunteer in Save a Bunny San Francisco. They have at present more than 80 bunnies in the refuge and little or no money.

Just a reminder that the Iris Gardens in Florence will be open this year between the 24th of April and the 20th of May. A magnificent collection with over 2,500 varieties.

Once upon a time... in the Old, defunct Forum (God bless its soul!), we had a very funny thread on Forum Characters. I found the link that shows those characters and it is still very appropriate for the Community. So here you are....

Winter is almost here and this time of the year is not a favourite season for gardeners.

Keep in mind that the tax is charged only on the cadastral value of the property and not the purchase price. Sometimes, trying to get residency within the required time is not worth all the trouble involved.
It would be great to have a group for members interested in History. There could be some very interesting discussion. There is plenty to talk about...
... or asking for an estimate to have double-glazed windows installed. They are wonderful!
Quite an expensive exercise.... but then, the product that you get is superb....
I would look at the insulation factor. You can save a lot on your energy bill if you have the right insulation.
Very interesting figures, Stribs. What would be the approximate cost of all the hard work,? Any idea?
Welcome to the Community. We look forward to hearing more from you.
Hi Richard. It will be difficult within Bagni di Lucca itself as dogs are supposed to be kept on leash in parks such as Contessa Cassalini. I would add that it will also be dangerous for the dogs because of the existing traffic. We don't have that problem as our dog is an elderly lady who is not up to much running around, anyway. I checked the Comune site and there is no information. Perhaps a visit to the Tourist Information Service, near the Town Hall may be of help.
I had the same problem for quite a few hours since Sunday afternoon. It was always "unobtainable". Glad we are back to normal!!!
I would opt for answers a and b at Wikipedia, together, as carne means both flesh and meat and all the pleasures of associated with the two were heavily restricted by the Church during Lent, which comes immediately after Carnevale. As most religious festivals, it has a pagan origin adapted to Christianity. So it is both a farewell to eating meat and to the pleasures of the flesh.
