OK - I am not enjoying the earthquakes now. Very unsettling. 6th one today (apparently) and the last one was a very strong 4. They are all around Mogliano & Loro Piceno. Are they bothering anyone else more since Aquila?

Hi, I am trying to get a list of people affected by the refusal of ASUR 13 & 12 (Ascoli & San Benedetto) to give us permanent residents permanent health cover.

I heard again today that the property market is moving again here in Southern Marche. I am not talking of foreign buyers but just the general property market. Good news for us sellers!

OK - an update on my fight for a permanent inscription in the health service here that is not good news I am afraid.This morning I went back to Dott.ssa Saldari at Ascoli as advised by Dott.ssa Carletti at the Marche Regione (she is responsible fo

We're letting our shop go in Sarnano. It just didn't bring us any more business so we can't justify the cost.

I went on Tusday back to try to see the director of the health authority that I had previously spoken two and who seemed to never return my calls or be there when I called. Guess what? She wasn't there!

Will do Helen. Are you under Ascoli or San Benedetto? Just for the records.

Answer to: Codice Fiscale

No you won't need a new Codice Fiscale but you will need to tell the Agenzia delle Entrate that you have moved addresses. You just need to go to the local Agenzia delle Entrate with your codice fiscale, photo id and some proof of your new address. Oh, and take a good book ;)

Yes and we've also just sold my husband's place. His ex- has just sold her place too. So it's not just theory but reality, luckily. Fingers crossed for my house now.

Fabulous experience and don't forget to look round Castello Pallotta in Calderola afterwards. We do a bike tour that includes lunch here and all our customers have loved it.

I am sure you will have a fantastic time! We run a cycling business in the Sibillinis so know them very well. I would definitely recommend a guide at that time of year due to the weather conditions. It may be dry and sunny or foggy and snowy or anywhere in between and you really need a local to help you with this. The weather reports just aren't accurate enough for you to go DIY IMHO unless you just stick to the easiest, shortest walks. Avalanches and rock falls do happen here so it is important to be safe. How you go about arranging this depends on whether you speak Italian. If you do, I would recommend contacting the Amandola or Sarnano branch of CAI to locate a guide, alternatively call the rifugio at Fargno or Amandola as they also have lists of guides. Depending on which part of the Sibillinis you want to walk, we can recommend some agriturismi. Let us know where you plan to go and we'll send you a list. If you don't speak Italian, then why don't you drop us a PM or email and we can put something together for you. We'll make all the arrangements based on your requirements and can even do an airport pickup if you don't want to hire a car. Good luck with whatever you decide and hop you have a fantastic holiday. PS - if you do hire a car, remember to book your snowchains.

Your geometra/architect should produce the computo metrico. This should then be given (without prices) to several builders who all quote for the job based on this document. It is a very important document in any renovation as without it, how do you know what work is included and what isn't? They run to several pages and are very detailed.

Thanks for the info. Won't affect us for at least a couple of years (just did some research) but very useful to know. Cheers

Hi Sablanico, could you explain what this registered email address is all about please? Thanks.

New Year's Eve torchlit ski parade at Sassotetto. New Year's Eve party under the loggia in Amandola.

The local is correct. You have to take out residency in the comune where your house is to qualify. You can, however usually extend the 18 months if your house isn't ready. you must do this before it expires. Speak to your geometra about it as he will have to provide evidence the house is not finished etc.
