That all makes sense, thanks Ram, I was SORT of under the impression that, when/if the day comes that we were to sell, the rules re abitabilità may have changed during the years that we have had the house? The original part of our house dates back to 1836, but some (understandably) MAJOR changes were undertaken in the last ten years, so when we bought (3+ years ago) there was a newly dated certificato produced for us.

I could not have worded it better...............BUT, as they have not sorted themselves out, Italy has done it's job (of a sort), but it is only addressing the problem, NOT the CAUSE of the problem. S

Hi Brianm, I think it's great that you know who the official agency is........LOT's of people will not know. Pray tell? LOTs of people also have very limited Italian language skills so everything is a challenge. Yes, you could say learn Italian but not everyone is able to - for many reasons. S
Sorry Brianm, I disagree.........the italians that I live with are very much 'get things done merchants' albeit in their own time and way.

Let no one from Africa in? OR, 3. Sink the boats? OR, 4. Is there another option ? S
