I thought I'd tell you about something I read in the paper the other day. Apparently Marche region is spending 12 million euro making sure that every comune is served by ADSL.

Hi all, I am trying to get the Ascoli Piceno ASUR13 to clarify the position regarding healthcare rights for permanent residents who are EU citizens. Currently, their ruling is that we may only have registration for 12 months at a time and that thi

My final recommendation for mountain restaurants (at least for the moment) is La Cittadella, again in Montemonaco. A wonderful mountain retreat with a pool with probably the best view in Marche!

Another lovely restaurant in the mountains. For good, hearty mountain food this is really excellent. We ate some of the best prosciutto I have ever eaten here, followed by cinghiale in Vernaccia with pappardelle - delicious!

I know this was on the old forum but I thought it was worth mentioning again. The restaurant Il Tiglio in Isola San Biagio (just outside Montemonaco) is something very different to the other restaurants in this area.

During my search for a document to take to the anagrafe office to shame the chap into giving me my permanent residency certificate, I found the state decree and subsequent circulars pertaining to the new (2007) residency laws.

I have a UK bank account registered at my Italian address. It is what they call an "international" account so I don't know if that makes a difference.
We are selling Sibillini Cycling. All bikes & accessories plus website (www.sibillinicycling.com) and all our research and routes etc. over the last 5 years. Ready-made summer business. Ideal for someone who spends part of the time here or only wants to work part of the year. Plenty of scope to develop the business but great Google rankings. Please PM me for full details.
Thanks Charlotte for making it so clear (as always).
The info regarding inheritance if you make a will came from here: http://www.parlandosparlando.com/view.php/id_710/lingua_0/whoisit_1 The info regarding inheritance if you don't make a will came from here: http://www.studiocataldi.it/guide_legali/successione/successione-legittima.asp This is of course the standard Italian inheritance set out in law. As I understand from Charlotte's previous postings on the subject, as British citizens we can make an Italian will (as RAM said) and say we want our British will to apply and then set out our British will however we like. Just my understanding though!
We bought one of those electric ones (like you get in butchers) from Brico for indoors. It cost €9.90 and it works a treat. No bites and lots of dead mossies. We do have fly nets at the windows though. We bought a roll of it and just silicon it to the window frames. The sticky tape just didn't stick well to be honest. Silicon works fine and you can peel it off if you need to.
Saw it in the Corriere Adriatico today. Buy local mozzarella - that's the answer!
Here you go - if you die with no will: Surviving spouse, no descendents, brothers or sisters nor ascendents: 100% to spouse Surviving spouse + 1 child: Inheritors: 1/2 to child Inheritors: 1/2 to spouse (plus right of habitation) Surviving spouse and more than one child: Inheritors: 1/3 to spouse (plus right of habitation) Inheritors: 2/3 divided between children (legitimate & illegitimate) Surviving spouse + ascendents but no brothers and/or sisters or children: Inheritors: 2/3 to spouse (plus right of habitation) Inheritors: 1/3 to ascendents Surviving spouse + brothers and/or sisters but no children or ascendents: Inheritors: 2/3 to spouse (plus right of habitation) Inheritors: 1/3 to brothers and/or sisters Surviving spouse + brothers and/or sisters + ascendents but no children: Inheritors: 2/3 to spouse (plus right of habitation) Inheritors: 1/4 to ascendents Inheritors: rest to brothers and/or sisters Surviving multiple children but no surviving spouse (even if there are other surviving relatives): Inheritors: 100% to children Surviving brothers and/or sisters but no surviving spouse nor ascendents: Inheritors: 100% to brothers and/or sisters Surviving brothers and/or sisters + ascendents but no children or spouse: Inheritors: 1/2 brothers and/or sisters Inheritors: 1/2 ascendents If you die with a will: If there is no surviving spouse, nor relatives up to the seventh grade: you may leave 100% to whomever you choose. Surviving spouse only: Legitimate heirs: 1/2 You may dispose of: 1/2 Surviving spouse + 1 child: Legitimate heirs: 1/3 to child Legitimate heirs: 1/3 to spouse You may dispose of: 1/3 Surviving spouse and more than one child: Legitimate heirs: 1/4 to spouse Legitimate heirs: 1/2 to children You may dispose of: 1/4 Surviving spouse + parents + grandparents: Legitimate heirs: 1/2 al coniuge Legitimate heirs: 1/4 ai parenti You may dispose of: 1/4 Surviving only child: Legitimate heirs: 1/2 You may dispose of: 1/2 Surviving multiple children: Legitimate heirs: 2/3 You may dispose of: 1/3 Surviving parents + grandparents: Legitimate heirs: 1/3 You may dispose of: 2/3 This all from the same source I quoted earlier but translated by me.
As I understand it, if there are more than 1 child and a wife/husband surviving then it goes like this:
If there is only one child and a wife/husband surviving then it is:
There is quite a detailed explanantion here. It doesn't have any detailed for us non-Italian citizens though.
Anyone know if you follow this course of action, does it mean you would fall under UK inheritance tax rules instead of Italian ones?
Sorry RAM we overlapped. As a libero professionista I have no requirement to be registered with the Camera di Commercio so my accountant "opened" my INPS account. Estate agents are a different case. Even though they are also a "Libero Professionista" it is classed differently.
