Hi we are planning to drive down this summer.
In the old days we would take a trailer loaded with personal effects, mainly old used items of very little if any value.
Clueless in Italy's activity
Questions Asked
Cost of labour.
Hi everyone we are currently stuck in the UK with a long list of works required on our house (ruin) in Italy.
I am interested in getting some local help but would like a rough idea of the cost of labour.

Italian passport.
I am sorry if this has been covered before, but just looking for a brief idea. I understand that the process of obtaining an Italian passport can be arduous.

Firstly hope everyone is staying safe in these strange times.
I have an old rural property in the mountains of Piedmonte that I think needs a septic tank installed.(currently send to just be a pit).

Realise I am late to the conversation.
I have a UK gas cooker which runs of a calour gas bottle outside, with yours you just connected it up to an Italian purchased gas bottle?
Thanks
OK so dental is private, any idea about the costs vs the UK. The service is effectively private in the UK with some procedures being subsidised {but not many}
I wish we had that setup. Our only option is to get it to the local tip ourselves. It's great that they take all waste but we did have to pay a local company to drive 4 lorry loads down over a couple of days.
We bought an old mill and I spent 1 year filling jumbo bulk bags with all the junk and they shifted it in 2 days.
You can just drop it on the local bin points. But at some point the local comune will come looking for the tax regardless of if you use the local tip etc.
Was this your total tax bill, or just waste{tari}.
We have a property in Italy and I pay full rate but my wife who is a resident receives a 50% discount on part of her bill.
We currently pay approx 700 eu total per year for the both of us.
We also only use it as a holiday home and have to drive the rubbish to an area about 2km away
Just travelled back from Italy on Tuesday via Monte Bianco.
First time no restrictions, checks, test, locaters any where.
Just like the old days. Let's how it stays like this.
Hi. We use a website called subito.
You can select the area you wish to search.

Hi every supermarket in our area sell pellets
Even most the small alimentare sell bags of pellets.
Given the current energy issues I think pellet stoves are a very good option. I currently have 2. 1 produces hot water that also heats radiators in the house.
The option to buy local Italian produced pellets seems a more stable option.
Am I correct in saying that UK nationals cannot drive through France unless they have a residency permit for another EU country. Ie just owning a EU home is not enough.
And if this is correct would my second route via Holland/Germany be okay?
Sorry about the grammar above, the curse of predictive texting.
