Just Curious....I am curious what are the oldest properties owned by posters here. We have purchased a very old property which is "chained" / vincolati .
I have been having trouble logging in. I asked for a password reset and found that my user name had been changed. It's now my usual name ..."+c". I did not make or request this change. Has this occurred for anyone else?
Hello, I was a sometimes user of the Forum. I found a lot of the information shared very useful.I live in New York City. I work on Broadway as a theatre electrician.
Again, thanks for your replies. We have now ascertained our property was originally a corner of a little walled fortress, complete with arrow slits. It was repurposed as a church 16th century ish judging from additional use of local brickwork. We have not yet uncovered the entire floor, just enough to see the altar base slab and lovely large bricks in a herringbone pattern. Neighbors have told us about the ossaia and tunnels which go half a mile towards the nearest town. So much to explore. We are waiting for permits and hope to start the real work on the roof of the residence in October.
Any new information? We were just in Italy. Our bank says perhaps in July they will know what is happening.on the brink of a renovation project a 20% loss of funds is outrageous. Does this declaration form exist?
Thank you, Gala. I've enjoyed your comments for years. We are just home from a 2 week visit starting work on our new project. We have purchased a deconsecrated church and casa canonical (rectory). The original building was part of a twelfth century fortress. It was made into a church guessing in the 16th century.we cut decades of ivy, dug up large paving stones and the altar base. We have many exciting stories to look forward to once we pass approval from the Beni Culturali.thanks
Hi, thank you. It's nice to hear from more than one person.My real question, pure curiosity, is who has the oldest property? Or, if you like, can anyone share challenges they met dealing with a property more than 500 years old?thank you!
Hi Georgette, thanks for your reply.we do have a geometra and lots of help.Our project will be monitored and dictated by rules of the Beni Culturali.Our place is 800 years olid, in parts. Has anyone else dealt with a project that old?Thanks!
