Hi Paola,I must of missed yours for some reason, had a lot of replies at one point of obviously missed yours out. Thank you for taking the time to reply again.My line of work is counselling and psychology I too have a website (www.mapcounselling.com) where I offer an internet counselling service, which I can do virtually anywhere but was also looking to set up private practice in Italy but not sure how this will work but will obviously look into this thoroughly. I have not read anywhere about working mothers and long hours in Italy and was not awareof this issues so that is really useful. I wil take a look at your website. Hope things pick up for you! I take it you mean credit crunch in England?You say you are from Monferratto, are you living in England or Italy at the moment?  There is so much to consider!!

Naples from my experiences as a child and from family and friends who are from there all say pretty much the same thing. It is an amazing place but yes there are pockets of poverty and a very large drug culutre. Do not know if you saw Mcintyre who did a feature on Naples and the problems with crime and drug culture?  There is a lot of stuff that goes on that tourists are not aware of, not sure if good or bad thing? Not sure if that is what you wanted to know?Thank you for your warm wishes. I will let you know

 Hi Kay,Thanks for the info, any piece of information is really useful!  When you say low parts of Piemonte do you mean near the po river or South Piemonte, in terms of being really cold in winter. I have tried to research this but had difficulty finding anything regarding how cold it can get for the winter months. We are actually looking to immigrate, rather than buy a holiday home so I need to ensure I do my homework in terms of winter temperatures amongst other important things!Always good to know about airports too!

Hi Aunty Gerbillo!Thanks for coming to the rescue, it was much appreciated. Being someone who's family come from a province very close to Naples I am very familiar with what Turnip is referring to, just did not understand his post and how it related, but now I do!!Thanks again

Hi Turnip,Really sorry, but I am afraid I still do not get it? When you say my sarcasm is unwarranted, I was not be sarcastic but trying to understand how your post related to what I was asking for and how it now relates to another post you added in?

Hi Thanks for your post, not sure how it relates to Piemonte?

Hi GerbilloConvinced to live in Italy, and give up his career and family hope that makes it clearer! Ironic thing is we are both from Italian parentage, second generation, which gets in the way as we get a one sided view, which is not helpful.

Hi Montana,Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post. Not heard from Diane yet, am waiting in anticipation!  I have done a bit of research and have heard monferrato is suppossed to very nice near Asti? It is great to hear you have fallen in love with the area, what is it about the area that you have fallen in love with? Are there a lot of ex- pats there, as I read there were not so many living in that region?  Good luck with your move and I hope you have some great experiences in Piemonte, it sounds like you already have.It would be great if I did become a neighbour, I am convinced my husband just needs to be now ! Sinceramente

I am looking to relocate permanently so need to look at all the information available to me with open eyes!! I hear Toscana is suppossed to be beautiful, been to Umbria which I really liked. Thanks again for your reply
