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.

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.
