Located less than a 100 m away from the Ponte Vecchio this centralli located trattoria is excellent value for money. You will find it on a narrow street called Via Stracciatella, to the left of Piazza di S.

It is that time of the year again! Plants see to thrive, but the terrible weeds do it as well.

I did not want to hijack Ronald's thread on Sardinia and the G8, but following a post on the same topic by Adriatica and my own commennt, I thought that it may be interesting for many to see what we are talking about.

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.

It should be fine as a cooler wall would make the initial establishment of the plant easier. It would grow in partial shade. Careful with two things, it can cause damage to the wall and the berries, containing oxalic acid, are poisonous.It also needs generous watering to get it started.

Congratulations on the purchase. You can now remember the signing of the "rogito" as just another anecdote. Yes, usually it takes a while although we missed on all the "fun" as we gave a power of attorney to our agent. But then, the signing of the power of attorney was quite an experience, even if we do manage quite well in Italian.....

 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.
