I am sending a container of household goods from U.S. to Umbria. I have Italan passport as well as Codice Fiscale and AIRE. I do not have residenza. Can anyone tell me what % I will need to pay in duty? Grazie, Lisa

We recently arrived in Ficulle where we will be completing the purchase of our home. Our intent is to rent the house next summer. Does anyone know of a company or individual we could hire to manage the property.

Does anyone know of a place near Ficulle, Fabro or Orvieto to purchase window screens. We are interested in the screens that you pull down.Also, any ideas for 'home improvement stores'.

We will be traveling to Umbria to finalize the purchase of our home. Unfortunately, we will not be able to close on the house during our visit, but need to open a bank account during our time there.

Ciao tutti. I am in the midst of negotiating to purchase a home in Umbria. Currently things are very tenuous.

As we will be in Itlay more than the usual two weeks, we are considering purchasing a car and leaving it at the house. Does anyone know what that would entail? Italian drivers license? Insurance in Italy? I truly have no idea.

We have a contract with EOLO for 418 euro a year for internet. Of course I was hoping to get a better rate. As it is explained to me you can no longer 'turn on' and 'turn off' your service at will. This used to be possible but they now offer yearly contracts. Also I was told our rate was 'higher' as we do not have a land line.We do have a satelite for TV (even though there is not much to watch). We are planning to bring our Amazon Fire stick over when we visit later this month. Lets see if that does anything.Yes, life in Italy is confusing; but the good things outweigh the bad...A presto, Lisa www.casalecrete.com
Oh my. That is scary. Do you know if this is the case if the money is deposited in my U.S. account. and in US dollars? We are not residents of Italy. Just wondering with the possibility of taxes and commission to agency or other expenses if it is worth it...... Grazie.
Thanks for the link. Will check it out. Best, Lisa
Our house is just past Santa Cristina, across the bridge that spans A1. Lots of privacy and we are planning to rent out one side of the house when we are not there. Family ties keep us in the U.S., but think our country is in for lots of changes. Allora. Our current plan is to spend a few months a year in Italy. Ficulle is great as few people speak English and we are forced to migliorare our Italian.Where are you from? What brought you to Italy? This is our website www.casalecrete.comLet's keep in touch. Saluti Lisa
Ciao tutti. My husband and I recently purchased and remodeled a home in the hills of Ficulle. We will be returning late March and stay through April. It would be a pleasure to meet new people and practice our faltering Italian as well. Saluti, Lisa
Can you let me know where you found this info. It will be very helpful. Grazie Mille
Grazie. I have been quoted 33 percent tax. Can you tell me where I can view that tax should be more like 10 percent. This would be very helpful. Best. Lisa
Grazie. Thanks per il consiglio. We will stop by one of the local agencies. Unfortunately, the agent we are purchasing the house from does not handle property management. The current property manager seems to be moving on......allora...
Thanks for your advice. I will check out Brico as well. Grazie.
Thanks for the link to Leroy Merlin and your advice. I will check it out once I arrive in Umbria
