....so the powers that be made this the clunkiest forum (or whatever you want to call it) in the world and we have all managed to get over it and struggle on. Now, they 'update' it again and make it even worse!! How is that possible.

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.

I agree with Michael and Adriatica. Why risk it? I have registered 3 cars here. It costs (but then cars are cheaper in the UK anyway so you probably saved there) but is straightforward enough. Car insurance needn't be extortionate. It is dearer than the UK for sure but I pay €550 for insurance cover for everything except accidents caused by myself. So if a tree fell on it, it got stolen or it got damaged by kids I'm covered. I don't think that's a terrible price. Contrary to what people think, Italian insurers will accept your UK no-claims bonus so long as it is less than 6 months old. Back to Cingoli10's original question, if your agency have done this before for UK vehicles they should already have a translation you can use. They will just reuse it and get the documents certified. The agency in Comunanza I always recommend to people certainly do this. I did the original translation for them. They gave me a copy of an Italian libretto to help with the terminology. Can't you translate it yourself and then just get it certified?
Amandola comune has a number to call to get large items removed in Amandola. They come once a month. Which comune are you in? Rubble is very difficult I'm afraid. Can't you reuse it/bury it somewhere? Often people are grateful for 'clean' rubble (ie just rocks/stones and bricks) for hardcore. In fact, I might know someone who might want some. PM me if you are interested.
My ex-husband has one for sale if you are interested, plus lots of other renovation/building type stuff. Send me a PM if you are interested. I have some scaffolding for sale too...
OK - found it. Basically, from May 2011 every time you buy goods or services over €3600 you will be required to give your Codice Fiscale. This info will be passed to the taxman and if you are spending more than you earn, you will be in trouble!

Hi, PVA painted on is not a good solution. You need to plaster it with a proper damp-proofing plaster that lets the wall breathe without ruining the plaster & paint. There are some very good Italian products that my husband has used here (he had a damp-proofing business in the UK). Give me a call or an email and you can have a chat about it if you'd like.
There are plenty of natural products to deal with damp available in Italy. My husband uses them for his damp-proofing work here. Condensation is obviously a different issue.
Shame we don't have a 'like' button anymore but well said Sebastiano! I never fails to amaze me that tourism isn't seen as the great opportunity it really is to make and keep jobs for young people in this area rather than just a great scam to get your old farmhouse restored with a vague nod to a few nights B&B (not you of course). But don't get me started on that one or I'll get cross!
Not sure it's just down to money. As ever in Italy, it can be who you know and some influential people are involved. There are a lot of stranieri putting money in the pot too, not just B&B's and agriturismi.
I heard 6 hectares of them. I understand there is a group of people in the area putting a class action together to fight them.
Hi Badger, sorry you had such a bad experience at Rimessa. We go there often as it is 20 seconds from our house. The pizzas are great but I have to say the rest of the food is not good so we avoid it and just eat pizza there. It's very popular with Italians for pizza in the evenings. It only started re-opening at lunch this year so no idea who does the cooking. I can only assume it's not the same person who does the pizzas!
