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.

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.

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 The names of the forms have all changed I'm afraid so a lot of info is out of date.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!

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.
