I have a regular sum of money sent over from the UK every month. This month however the money left my UK account and has yet to arrive here in Italy (Banca della Marche).

I saw this comment from a Californian news item............Emerging Cuisines from Emerging Markets - As the world grows smaller, the selection of cuisines grows larger and guests’ palettes are begging to try new flavours.

It will take a quite monumental event to prise us from our wonderful life and friends here. BUT,................. what/where is the future for the younger generation here ?

Being a full time resident here in Italy, we are having a month or so on holiday in another EU country (not in the UK, our country of origin). Does anybody know what 'travel' related health cover are we 'entitled' to ?

I'm sure someone here will advise (hopefully)............I have some 30/40 false acacia trees (the ones with the spikes - ouch !), they have grown in the last 5 years to some 15/20metres high.

"Mr Berlusconi told Italian television: "Life in Italy is good. The restaurants are full. It's difficult to get a seat on a plane they're so busy; holidays are all booked up."There you go then, no financial crisis here !?S

We go to this area every few years.............such a disaster for the people there..............A number of British holidaymakers have been left fearing for their homes and their lives after severe flooding swept away properties and cars and kill

'Getting this stuff from your PC to your TV is likely to be the most tricky stage' This is just a single cable (HDMI the best), just check your slots(PC & TV) S
Lots of posts on this previously, I am here in Le Marche using wireless Fidoka (4mb - 23Euro/month) and a VPN supplier (My Private Network - £5/month) since mid 2008, I'd rate it 8/10 which is probably a little harsh, but will not be changing in the near future which says a lot? Get all BBC & ITV, Sky News live plus Ch4, ITV etc etc, early named channels received better than others S
I have to say that reading through all the helpful comments that have been made, well done Italy Mag members ! I think (??) the 'prelazione' is a bit like in the UK when you sign contracts but not yet at the point of 'completing'. Once you sign the prelazione: you are COMMITTED to buying (whatever the agreed property and contents are) at the agreed price (or you lose as a minimum your deposit). Once the seller signs the prelazione: they are COMMITTED to selling (whatever the agreed property and contents are) (or they are required to pay you DOUBLE the deposit that you have paid). So make sure that all of what you want (and don't want) is covered in specific clauses. For what it's worth, given all the other advice you have received, we did not use a solicitor, utilising only the Geometra and the Notaio (along with our own common sense). Good luck, S
Grazie Ram...............I must admit, when I was writing I thought..............am I right here ? Obviously not ! Sorry ..............I do recall now........ I'll lie down for a bit ! S
Well worth checking out by the sounds of it, and very interesting that you found that the hotel finder website suggested that it was a full (I assume they would ave been allocated a certain number of rooms ?).............I'll mark it as a possible for next time...............not SURE about the yodelling grannies though

Gosh, I'm surprised that one needs 15Kw !! We have a four bed/3 bathroom house on two levels, pool pump, electric oven, toaster etc etc, Strimmer, hedge trimmer etc etc. all the rest is mainly gas and when I look at our actual 'current' usage, it is rarely more than 4Kw. The pool pump runs MAINLY after midnight, (for cheaper tariff) but does kick in a few times during a day S
Super contribution..............I don't think anyone would actively LOKK to get stung by anything, and also some of us are more susceptible than others and equally react differently, but this is indeed a realist view of the danger (or not !), Bravo, S
I'll be interested to see Charlotte's professional response............I would have thought that what you are thinking is correct, but..........why not have it (professionally) translated and lodged (not prepared) with the Notary ? Also (to save Charlotte time)................can we somehow post a SINGLE, UNCOMMENTABLE post outlining this example to lots of others for the future. It is a regular topic ? S
Penny........There is me thinkig that I'm getting better ............I agree with the 'affetto' referring to 'me/I', but would not have got the 'ho' bisogno, I shall lie down for a bit (again!) You have to say Google did quite a good job ? S
Obviously there will be far better translatORS amongst us, but looking at the Google translation gives the following: Sono affetti da shock anafilattico dopo essere stato punto da una vespa, ho preso la mia dose di adrenalina da un EpiPen ma hanno bisogno di un ospedale per ulteriori trattamenti. It looks close to what I would expect with my limited italiano lingua ! Not sure what the "EpiPen" is though ? S
