Suddenly there is a new forum and lots of new members appear from nowhere asking really useful questions! it's almost as if someone somewhere is trying to make the new site justifuy its existence. Which is nice.

So the Nationwide has introduced bank charges - £1 fee and 2% commission on every withdrawal via ATM abroad - Im gutted. But, I had no advance warning and am also deeply annoyed. Anyone else in the same boat?

Somewhat open mouthed to see a large ad for Giambrone on the front page of the Italy Mag website.

Does anyone have any info on the scudo fiscale. It seems that the new version is not only retroactive, but anyone bringing money into Italy could be liable for 5% tax if they are resident.

I think its a bit later than gothic revival - which in the UK would have been mid 1800's, and a bit later in Italy. To me its got a bit of the Egyptian influence that was more from the 1890s until the 20's - Not my taste have to say!
Giambrone has been struck off the Register of European Lawyers and ordered to pay costs of 70.000 euros. Of course this doesnt mean that he cant still operate in Italy, but with charges filed in the UK and this latest ruling, the writing may be on the wall.
da da da da da da boom boom. :)
CO detectors can be bought in various shops. AS far as I know, a CO2 detector is called a canary and went out of fashion some time ago, Lidl certainly dont sell them.

Thanks Gaia for pointing that out - what I meant was, there is no Italian will, but there is an American will, which doesnt sspecifically mention the Italian stuff, but leaves ''all my worldly goods' etc ...
ho cancellato mio post - non ho l'energia, ne voglia e francamente non me ne frega se Ugo vorrebbe fare pubblicità o non. ciao a tutti
Its a thread about Florence, not about getting mortgages.
There are 77 state musems in Florence - so its a pick and choose thing. The one I would never miss (apart from the obvious) is La Specola - a museum below Palazzo Pitti which has the most incredible collection of wax bodies in various anatomical states. And full of primitive taxidermy - its fab.
Under Monti, alot of the separazioni tricks have been stopped. You have to nominate a family home - and cannot have 2 prime case in the same comune. The children have to live in one only and cannot be divided between two. - all precisely to stop the ITalian tax evasion game. -
