There is a lot of speculation around but it seems certain that ICI will return on the prima casa although at a lower rate than previously.

Does anyone use ENI for gas & electricity? I fancy their new boiler deal but you need to be a client of gas and electricity.

Can anyone in or around Ventimiglia tell me what it is like getting over the border to France/Monaco at the moment? We have a small baby and don't want to get stuck on a train/in the car for hours at some checkpoint. Thanks

Hi, could someone help with some translation please? I have a quote from a geometra but I don't understand the first 2 items and how they differ from the other 3.

Did anyone go to the meeting in the town hall last Monday about parking in Amandola? I couldn't go but wondered what was said.

You sound as if you are UK tax resident and so can invoice from the UK (even if the work is performed in Italy) and pay tax there. Unless you are tax resident in Italy, it should not require any official documents etc in Italy. Of course, if you are employed on a permanent contract in Italy it would be more complicated.
Yes if you can guarantee when it will arrive and the notary and vendors are happy to accept it.
Yup - probably too early for skiing (but who knows). Boxing Day living presepi in Comunanza. New Years Eve Party under the loggia in Amandola. How long are you staying? Honestly, Christmas is a bit quiet usually - sorry :-)
Not sure about it all changing 'shortly'. Does anything happen here that quickly?
We acepted a bankers draft drawn on a Belgian bank in Euros and it took 3 weeks to clear. If we had known this we would not have accepted it. I think you'll be lucky if you find anyone to accept it to be honest. There have been no issues with Italian banks here. I would transfer it.
I'm sure you're right but I won't hold my breathe. They still haven't transferred all services to Fermo from Ascoli from the creation of the new province in 2008 so nothing will happen quickly.
Have you tried Marco: http://www.tuscany-umbria-architect.com/
I read in the paper that the 13 ASUR's will be amanlgamated into 5 large super areas to save money. Part of this will mena that 6 mountain communities' that are part of Fermo will move under Fermo for healthcare. They are: Amandola/ Montefalcone/ Santa Vittoria/ Smerillo/ Montefortino and sorry - can't remember the other one. The comune's mayors are fighting this as they were not consulted and do not want Amandola hospital to become pat of Fermo. Personally I don't care which we're under so long as we get our proper healthcover!!
If your tessera (this is the white slip of paper and not the blue plastic card) has no expiry date then becoming a permanent resident will not negate that. You actually have to become one at the end of 5 years or else you are not any type of resident as your 'temporary' residency for the 1st five years expires.
Strictly speaking it was called a carta di soggiorno for EU citizens and they used to last 5 years. If you had one (which no-one arriving now will have as the rules have changed) then you have to register as resident when it expires. Even if you are already resident you have to go to the anagrafe office of the comune and register as resident. If you have been here for more than 5 years then you should register as a permanent resident as Angie has done. If you dont have a carta di soggiorno then after 5 years of residency you have to go to the comune and register as a permanent resident the same. Does that explain it?
