Just in case anyone else has been making the same mistake as me....If your comune has an IMU rate higher than the standard 0.76% (e.g.

I just saw today that just paying the IMU is not enough but we have to do an 'Imposta Municipale Propria - Dichiarazione per l'anno 2012'.

I have just had to create a secure email account (PEC in Italian) so that I can communicate a SCIA with my comune. It seems this is the way it is going for most comune now.

We have formed a Societa' Agricola which has puchased our new farm. I am guessing that when I pay the IMU, the F24 needs to be in the name of the Societa' as this is the owner of the property.

Totally agree with Adriatica's last comment. Use a good agent or else it could be a minefield. There are no concessions for properties with multiple owners (aren;t most like that anyway?). So long as ONE owner does the right thing, that is sufficient.

Actually Adriatica, the deadline for registering rural buildings as urban has been extended to 31/3/2011 very recently due to the number still to be registered being so high and the workload being enormous for Geometras. See here: http://www.agenziaterritorio.it/?id=6052 If the building shows on the list of 'ghost' buildings at the land registry (you can do a search) here: http://www.agenziaterritorio.it/?id=2112 If the building is not registered by this date then the Agenzia del Territorio can survey it and register it and send the owner the bill. Obviously they will register as they see fit which might not correspond with your requirements. A way round it is that you can declare to the Agenzia del Territorio that the accatastamento is 'in processo' in the course of being done and this will buy you some time. Apparently your geometra should have a form to do this. There is a nice little table explaining it here (Italian only I'm afraid): Il Sole 24 Ore

We take our up to Montespino near Montefortino or the hills just behind Montemonaco. We have a male and he has never been attacked. To no honest we never see any other dogs. Just be aware there are some places where you can't take your dog in the park. It is there area where they are re-introducing the chamois deer. There may be others. You can look on the parks website for a map.

Hi Cingoli10, unfortunately I did the translation whilst working for the owner of the driving school whom I worked with at the time so don't have a copy (it was not done on a computer). I translated the whole document. I could happily do it again but I would have to charge you as if I was doing it from scratch I'm afraid. If you'd like me to, just drop me a PM.

You need to go to Pascucci in Comunanza. Take the road from Amandola to Comunanza and at the last major bend before you get to Comunanza, set high on the left you will see a glass factory and Pascucci's which has diggers and cranes etc outside. I know a qualified  English digger driver who works out more reasonable if you get stuck on the DIY.

The Italian post office have a policy that covers earthquakes. Yes, it's true most Italians don't bother with contents insurance. Personally if I didn't live here I would definitely have it.

Remedial work is not less effective at all if done well but few people are prepared to put up with the mess necessary to fix the problem properly. They would rather go for the quick fix that will only last a year or two.
