Private message or email? Can I PM someone on this site? Or send them an email?  Sorry, I'm not seeing it.  Thanks!

Ah, okay. I guess I should try to find something like a specific forum. Atessa, the tip about olive trees is a good one. I was looking around the town in question as well as the specific property and there are olive trees. I think I see oleander also. Thanks guys!

Thank you SO MUCH Atessa! I have sent hima note about the property. We shall see. Maybe we can make this like the good old Italy magazine, which I sadly missed out on.

Yes, I do look at satellite view. What is wrong with a quarry? Lots of trucks and dust, I guess.

Well, I have certainly seen more than enough. *sigh* It's upsetting to me because I get all riled up over the things someone says, and then I'm tempted to jump in the middle. But that would surely make me guilty of the very behavior I despise. I really do wonder why this happens in forums. It doesn't happen much on Facebook. It doesn't happen on the blogs I visit, unless they happen to be political. But this is the second forum for ex pats in Italy, and I haven't been back to the other one because people were so nasty to each other.

Rebellion? Lost members? Anarchy and riots? Civil disobedience? It should only encourage friendships and the sharing of information. Bah.

Lois, I'm in the same boat! We can goad each other on. :)

Oddly enough, I could not find the listing on your English agent's site. I went way low and way high in price. It may be a "bait" listing. Something to get you to contact them so they can say, "oh, it's sold but..."

Ha ha! Well, Steve, it sounds like there is a story behind that evaluation. :) Thank you for the link. He had some very affordable properties listed. Somehow I've ended up in Lanciano in Google Street view, so I've been looking around. It's quite a major town. Love Google Street view!!!

Thank you, Bruno. It looks like a sweet place to me. Not ready to buy, but want to get a feeling for the areas.
