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.

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
