A good Italian friend of ours had just lost her husband - they live in the UK, so we wanted to send them a card. We have been told locally that Italians would usually send a plain white card with a black stripe on the edge along with a flower.

Great idea - go for it SI - how will the raffle work? Need to get our thinking caps on again!
Looks like the general opinion is that the top up card is the way to go - thanks everyone - I will be off to the Post Office to find out more about getting on in the morning.
:p Moxie - Do you know you are the top poster on the forum (well after Ronald that is)!!! You need to spend more time in the pub. x
Yes only playing as we got excited when we saw we could upload photos and that was the first pic we came across. Will have a look later for some more 'rougher lions' to suit us better, David!
Welcome to our new home Badger - hope to meet you soon!
Thank you everyone for your advice so far. We don't have a bank account in Italy as the fees are way too high, but we have a Banco Posta account (only €39 per year fees) which only has a Maestro card attached to it. This can't be used with Paypal unfortunately. Elicat, will have a look at Barclays, thanks for the info and will definitely find out about the top-up card option - thanks Bill for the link.
