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.
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.
Hi! As Bruno has pointed out, you are going to need a geometry or architect to sign plans, get permits and also licensed tradesmen to sign all relevant certifications that Council may require. Not an easy task, even if your husband is a builder. To rebuild a ruin in Italy is the dream of many people, a dream which may easily turn into a nightmare unless you carefully plan everything. Unfortunately, Italy is full of those half completed renovations. Perhaps you should look into those, as in today's market they sell at quite reasonable prices. In any case, this may also help http://www.impresedili.it/categorie/prezzariGood luck with your endeavours!
Vesparina 65, it is great to know that everything has been sorted out and I send you my very best wishes. One extra piece of advice, ask the Comune to affix the Apostille to your marriage certificate. Both the UK and Italy are signataries of the Hague Conventions and the Apostille replaces the old legalisation procedure. Your certificate will then fully acceptable in the UK (or in any country being a signatary of the Convention).Also, I appreciate Modicasa's intervention. I already posted an answer stating which bodies and associations could be contacted in Italy whenever there was a need for an interpreter or translator. Actually, it is not true that these are not recognized professions in Italy. Prestigious Italian Universities such as La Sapienza or Verona offer degrees in those fields. It is regrettable that, for unknown reasons, my post was deleted. I would also like to post the link concerning weddings in Italy, which I originally mentioned. http://www.italy.embassy.gov.au/rome/Marriage.html May I draw your attention to the N.B. paragraph stating that "spouses cannot act as witnesses or interpreters". This type of restriction also applies to beneficiaries in a will. And this rule applies internationally. The link, although intended for Australian citizens getting married in Italy, would be very helpful to most other English speakers, as the explanations given are very clear. I trust that this will help.
You definitely need legal advice, as you have a "pro indiviso" which may have conditions attached... Take all relevant documents to a lawyer, including the original will and inheritance papers.Also, you could ask your sister whether she would be prepared to buy the remaining three shares. That may start her thinking...In any case, good luck!
As an Italian residing overseas and registered with AIRE, you have no problems to buy or register a car in Italy; however, look under Nr 7 of these answers from the government and it should be possible to buy or register a car providing the person is registered with the local Anagrafe. Then, of course, it is up to the Comune to ask for all relevant documents, such as permesso.di soggiorno , etc. also, it is up to the particular Comune to issue the identity card... In any case, have a look http://www.mit.gov.it/mit/site.php?p=cm&o=vd&id=308#7
Modi, my friends purchased their car 3 months ago. So it is something very recent. Perhaps, as you said, the reason is that they are non-EUROPE (Australians). Their "permesso" does not allow them to work. I am going to keep on checking, because it is a discriminatory rule against EU citizens....I shall keep everyone informed with follow ups on this same thread....
Well, yesterday I was able to confirm what I said before. I met my non-EU friends, who are not permanent residents in Italy (they come twice a year for a few weeks) and who own property in the area and I was able to see their Italian registered car. They explained to me that first they had to obtain a "permesso di soggiorno ", then a "carta d'identità" (which can be issued not only to permanent residents, but also to those with a DOMICILE in Italy, and that is all. Italian citizens living overseas must have a certificate of inscription in their local AIRE. I know, this contradicts some of the information that circulates; however, my friends have done it. Perhaps, and this is not unusual, different regions interpret regulations in a different way, we are in Tuscany, lucca Province; however, it should be the same in Veneto, Liguria, Lazio, Abruzzo or Sicily. I hope that this helps http://www.aci.it/i-servizi/guide-utili/guida-pratiche-auto/acquisto-veicolo-nuovo.html
For those looking at Tuscany for retirement and prefering to live in a city, I would strongly recommend Lucca. A wonderful city, with full facilities andgreat communications, about 1 hour away from Florence by train, with not as many tourists as Florence, a great atmosphere. I simply love it! We chose Bagni di Lucca (25 minutes away) as we did not want city life, but it is an excellent choice and we go there at least twice every week. I was there on Saturday and I picked up some real estate brochures out of curiosity. Going through them, I realized that property prices have dropped a lot from the levels they were some 7 years ago, so it is a buyers market. Those prices can only go up as soon as the Italian economy will pick up. A good investment!
Glad it helps. There is also the possibility of paying a bit extra (some 60 € ) even in standard economy class to book certain seats which have more leg space. Air France is an excellent airline and if anyone is thinking to travel business class, the standards are very high.
Air France has a "Premium Economy Class" which has more space available at a fraction of the Business Class fare. They also have good connections from many US cities via Paris to Italy. I fly them all the time in and out San Francisco.
