How does one survive in the winter here? I bought a house with no heat. My realtor advised I install pellet stoves.

I had a pellet stove installed in my house. Typical of Medieval villages, to access my home, I must first navigate very steep stone steps from the village, then 2 sets of stairs up to my living room. My street doesn't have cars.

I have just experienced my first winter in Abruzzo in the mountains. I love it here, but I did not enjoy the heating system in my house. I believe I made a mistake. My house is old.

Someone recommended an online bank a while back and I can not find the link. I believe it was a Mr. Leli who I was to speak with. Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated. Grazie Mille.

Greetings all who have pets in Italy. I need your help. I am getting ready to travel to the USA with my dog, and I cannot find a website or a store in Abruzzo where I can order a crate. I need a medium rigid cage with ventilation on 3 sides.

Thank you for your advice. I will check with Fineko.
Thank you for the information. My US bank is partners with BNL D'italia. Hopefully there will be one in Sulmona or Pacentro.
I am arriving on a standard 90 day visa. I have appointments to see houses. I will only be in Italy for a couple of weeks, then back to USA until end of May when my job contract is completed. I plan not to move completely until I organise all paperwork from here in Los Angeles. I really appreciate the info you have shared with me. I am very anxious about remaining in the USA since the lunatic has taken office of the Presidency. Hopefully this will be a smooth transition for me. Thanks again.
I am going to apply for a stay permit as soon as I purchase the house. I am retired and do not plan to work in Italy. If I can't get residency, I will travel when I need to. I have friends in France, Switzerland, England and Portugal. Thank you for your advice.
Thank you all so much for your input. The more I see the village of Colledara, I know its where I want to be. Its so pretty and I like small towns. I am looking forward to being there soon and make my decision. Next I need to buy a car. Are there classifieds for used autos in or near Colledara? Thanks again. I hope I meet you on my journey.Katie
Thank you so much for your answer. Much appreciated.katie
