Someone just pointed this out on Facebook. Do not look if you are squeamish. How utterly disgusting.

I saw something very briefly about this on the news today. I believe it is an anti-tax evasion law. Anyone know anything about it? Have I misunderstood? Are they actually referring to the requirement to declare any money sent abroad?

I posted a letter today and was told in the Post Office that all the CAP codes for all towns in Fermo & Ascoli provinces had been changed. For example Amandola has gone from 63021 to 63857. I think it also affects other regions too.

OK, it's been a while since I did an update but the Mayor of Amandola had very kindly agreed to take it up with ASUR13 on my behalf so I was waiting for him. He unfortunately got no further and was given the same reason of needing to "count" us as

Just wondered if anyone knows if our baby will be able to be an Italian citizen or not. The Consulate website is a bit unclear. I was under the impression our child could only claim citizenship at the age of 18 as per below: "1.

You can officially rent out your main residence for a maximum of 60 days (hmm - might be 45 - sorry I can't remember precisely) without paying tax. You really do need an accountant's advice and you may not have to pay tax anyway.
Hmmm but I suspect that registering your presence at the police station is not a residency pemit so does not contradict the last statement Bunterboy. I wonder if this is due to the fact that Italian citizens are required to have an identity card and be resgistered in their local comune. If you arrive in Italy and stay at a hotel/B&B, your presence is registered by the hotel with the police, so I'm not sure anything has changed really - just that there is now a form for you to do it yourself.
€250 is far, far too much. Are you sure that didn't include the actual ICI itself too??
Don't bother phoning them. Write to them recorded delivery with copies of the faxes you sent cancelling the line along with the delivery receipts from the fax machine. Tell them you need a response within 14 days or else you will refer the matter to a lawyer. That usually prompts some action eventually.
In our part of marche there is a type of limestone 'gravel' (for want of a better word) that gets put on white roads You can get white or red. Apparently the red is the good stuff. This compacts down over time to become very hard. Could it be that?
We've all had no electric (came back on last night). The rain was horrendous and there are landslides everywhere. Then we had very wet heavy snow - the sort that brings your roof down. There are many roads closed and the Tronto burst its banks. There was (depending on which article you read) between 20 and 30cm of rain in 12 hours. Then we got snow.... Marche does seem to have had the worst of it and as Adriatica says the region has declared a state of emergency. It is definitely not confined to the coastal area here. Foce di Montemonaco was/is cut off due to an avalanche. Many roads are impassable due to mud or landslides or just collapsing. Won't be leaving my house for a few days I think.
Hi Flip, I'm not sure where the 60 minute thing comes from but I use Teleconomy Internazionale (the €10 a month deal for Western European Canadian & US calls from telecom Italia) and am often on the phone over an hour as I use it for work. It is all included in the €10. No need to hang up and I don't get charged extraif it's over 60 mins either.
I've used Movecorp and found them reasonable and reliable. However, the timings were not exactly as described. If that is not important, I would use them again.
That seems a lot. Why does your septic tank need emptying? It should soak away. We had a sesspit (no soak away) in the UK and used to pay about €80 every 4 months to get it emptied. Sorry, I don't know the price here but it seems extortionate.
All I can say is shop around. Take the €20,000 quote to the original supplier (who quoted €25k) and get them to beat it. Then when they do, take their lower price back to Follusci (is it them in Tolentino?) and get them to beat that. Painting and decorating does seem enormously expensive here for some reason. Paint is expensive here so that is definitely a factor. It should say in the quote whether it includes fitting. It usually does but not making good round the windows afterwards nor preparing the openings beforehand. They would usually expect there to be scaffolding up but it can be done off a cherry picker which can hired. The price of fitting will depend on wheter there are metal frames in place to receive the windows (usually done by the builder during a renovation). I have sent you a private message.
