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'm assuming they change it all automatically - who knows? Fermo doesn't appear as a province on most website's lists yet so I won't hold my breathe :-)

Have you looked into Paypal? We use them for our bike bookings and fr larger sums it is pretty economical and people can pay in whatever denomination they like and you can withdraw in GBP.

There is the wine bar. Sorry can't remember what it's called but the food is very nice. As you walk/drive under the arch into the piazza, it is under the loggia on the left up some steps.] Nice food, nice wine & not too extortionate prices.

Hi Lucy, do feel free to give us a call. The number is on the contacts page of our website or drop us an email to Sibillini Cycling and we can give you a call. I won't put the contact details on this forum otherwise we'll get buckets of spam.

Corriere Annuni? You can buy it in newsagents or they have a website.

Stay in touch Gavin, as it looks like we'll still be in Marche next summer for family reasons so will be running it ourselves in 2011 but will definitely selling prior to the 2012 season. You can get our contact details and take a look here: http://www.sibillinicycling.com

Just to be clear though, medical insurance is NOT required if you are a UK citizen and were a UK tax payer for the 2 years previous and until you left the UK. You will be covered by your UK contributions for 2 1/2 years in Italy. It is only during the period after this until you reach 5 years for your permanent residency that you will need to pay for cover. If you are a UK pensioner then you are covered from the UK and don't need insurance either. There are various forms from the DWP that state your entitlement (used to be E106 etc). The names of the forms have all changed I'm afraid so a lot of info is out of date. The new form is an S1.

Not sure if it's the same one, but TR Gomme is on the industrial estate actually in Comunanza. Snow tyres are well worth the money. I find chains a real pain but my husband has them down to a fine art and can do them in 50 seconds - we timed him!

Sun, 10/10/2010 - 15:00

We use TR Gomme in Comunanza and he is very reliable and straight. I have even known him to drive to Montemonaco to put a lady's snow chains on when it was snowy as her husband was out! You don't need legally snow chains if you have winter snow tyres fitted but to be honest you will still need them if we have the usual amount of snow and need to drive on anything other than the main roads. You won't need spare rims, they will put them on your existing rims and can even store your summer tyres for you until you need them, for just a fiver. As above it costs about €20 to have them fitted and balanced. We don't usually get our spare changed over to be honest.
