Just wondering if anyone has any helpful advice/ experiences of obtaining an Italian mortgage for a non-resident. Some friends of ours are looking to buy a house and are asking if it is easy process and where is best to try first. Many thanks.

Can anyone tell us if there is such a thing as a booster for an Alice Wireless Modem? We have been told that the range is 100m but there is no signal inside our farmhouse and we are presuming this is because our walls are so thick.This is much le

One of our favourite festas of the summer is coming up very soon - Castrum Sarnani is a magical glimpse into Medieval life in Sarnano and topped off by an amazing stilt-play complete with fireworks, lights and music.

Gala - just received this reply from my friend in New Zealand, so it looks like the tripe went down well! Thanks so much for helping out!!!
Hi Sarah, My Dad rung today absolutely gushing over Gala's tripe recipe!! Hes made it twice in 1 week he loves it so much!! He said he could marry Gala with recipies like that!! haha please pass on his thanks again, hes begging for more recipies!
Its is one of our regular walks as you know, so thanks for the information and really hope the greyhound recovers quickly, they are such lovely dogs. Dread to think who would come off worse in a fight though, Jessie or the alsatian.
Afraid it is true Arty - see here: http://www.italymag.co.uk/community/post/goodbye-italymag However we are safe here as far as we can tell and there may be publications every so often. Its a shame but obviously they know what is best! PS Why does your little picture keep changing?
Well we finally got to speak to someone in charge at Goldengas after 2 days of trying and we threatened to change companies and asked them to come and take the bombola out and guess what....... the price suddenly dropped from 92c to 65c just like that - so worth a try for anyone in a similar situaton to ourselves. We have placed an order this time with them, but due to their underhand way of dealing with the price per litre, will hopefully change to either Pegas or Total next time Thanks to everyone for your help and rememeber its definitely worth bartering!!!!
Thanks David - been on phone all morning and not got anywhere so far with Pegas or Total - been on hold for over an hour!!!! and Total can't give us a price. Maybe your excellent language skills would do the trick! Just going to phone Goldengas and try and get a bit threatening - will keep you informed........ Alan - good idea - will ask!
Thanks A - may be brave and give them a ring tomorrow but anything you can find out will be very welcome x
Thanks J & DJ - we did fill out the forms and do get the discount and that is the price with the discount!!!! well that is what Goldengas have told us. D - Do you think we would have to have the bombolla ripped out and a new one put in if we changed to say Pegusus - we ahve had the old contract for over 6 years (or could they possibly use the same one). Will try and phone on Monday, but you know what our Italian is like! Thanks for all your help.
Thanks very much Sebastiano and Fred and Cath - it seems like we are paying way too much again! Not sure how we go about changing contracts - it is at least 6 years old and I guess would be very messy if the bombola had to be ripped out and a new one installed if we were to change companies?
Hi - I can't put anything on my face other than water but I managed to buy some home made cinnamon soap from a local festa which apparently has anti bacteriological properties and so far so good - hope this helps!
We too have found that the pages of IMC load much slower today than usual and we have fairly fast broadband here even though we are in the countryside. All other website we visited load at the usual speed, so not sure what has changed here? Like Angie, our connection goes down if a storm is on its way, but with the beautiful weather we have been having recently, I don't think this is the issue. Any one else having similar problems?
