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.

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....

Another Catholic organisation that runs second hand shops is EMMAUS. It has an office in your region at Tolmezzo. Ask the local parish and they should be able to inform you.

Congratulations on the purchase. You can now remember the signing of the "rogito" as just another anecdote.

 Difficult question to answer regarding times. The passport does not take long once citizenship is granted. You need application forms, photos, Italian certificates (birth, marriage, naturalisation). You should talk to your local Italian authorities to ascertain how long will you have to wait.
