Hello,could you provide some more information such as what you consider "the region of Torino" and when would the rental start, please? It would be useful to give you advice!Thanks,Elisabetta

Ciao Fred,Modicasa is correct. I can just add that, in case you buy a house, IMU payments have to be requested and  checked by the Notary prior to the the purchase act and, in case you're renting, if payments are not regular it's the owner and not the new occupant who has to respond of it. The rental contract will prove since when you're in charge of the property.Elisabetta

Ciao a tutti,I think my Country is all beautiful but I notice that foreigners tend to take in consideration the same regions while others are neglected. Why don't you have a look at this New York Times article http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/20/greathomesanddestinations/house-hunting-in-the-italian-piedmont.htmlWe have just been appointed Unesco World Heritage site nr 50 for our landscapes and we're the region in Italy with the highest number of Michelin starred restaurants! Good luck with your choice!elisabetta

Hi, I can help you find what you need.I am from Asti and I'm an Italian architect used to working with foreigers. To know more about me, you can have a look at my profile here and/or visit my website. In Asti or just around Asti you can find many places which sell what you need. Prices of cotto tiles (terracotta) can vary from about 40 to over 100€/square meter, depending on the quality and the way they are produced. I know places which sell them used, too. You can even have them handcrafted and produced just the way you want them (I'm talking about size and color).Consider the fact that real cotto tiles are about 3 cm thick, while reproduction of cotto tiles are about 1 cm. There's also a different way to lay them down (= difference in price). I could go on but, since you're not far from Asti, best thing to do would be to meet, so that I can give you the names of the sellers.Don't hesitate to contact me: I'd be happy to help!Elisabetta
