I posted this information in the old "Northern Tuscany" group and I think that it was helpful.

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.

This could be a helpful link regarding insulation materials: www.poliart.it Enter "ediliziz" and you will find a catalogue.

Concerning the wardrobe, antique ones always come apart, but you would be paying a fortune and they are not the best for storage. the ones that you can purchase at both IKEA or Mondo Convenienza come in boxes and they need to be assembled. And give the tin garage to the builder.....

I trust that you will be able to sort out all the problems you currently experience and that you will be able to come back regularly to your wonderful country of origine. We all need to be in contact with our roots.

I think that the advice given by Alanh is very sound. Try to have your own Notaio.

Thank you Charlotte. I have noticed the Spanish media publishing similar news. The new law makes more sense and clarifies matters.

I agree. Tips should be strictly limited as a reward for great service. In America, the situation is a mess.

I guess that technically, it could be described as "black money". How many Italian waiters would declare their tips? Personally, I prefer a service charge. I hate tipping when I go to America. I think that tips are derogatory. A worker should be properly paid for his/her work. And, in any case, we, as clients are paying for the service, whether through a tip, or a service charge.

The same measures are being adopted in Spain....

Generally, your comune will publish their decision on the website.  As we do not live in Bagni permanently, sometimes it is a problem to pay at the local Post Office. We arranged with Council to be able to make an electronic transfer to their bank account and to send them a copy of the transfer together with property details and our names to enable them to identify the transfer.
