Does anyone know how to prepare the red and yellow bell pepper side dish, which is usually served cold. Are they roasted and then preserved in vinegar or are they freshly prepared and then left to go cold.

Have been driving in Italy on our holidays for the last five years and it is still a mystery of who is meant to give way on a roundabout.

My husband and I have been learning Italian mostly with the Michel Thomas CD's on and off for about four years now.

Hi, my husband and I are looking to move to Southern Italy in the next few years. My husband is a qualified mechanic here in England.

We are considering advertising our holiday home on the Italy Mag website next year and wondered if anyone has any first hand experience of having done so. We would be interested to hear if you thought it increased bookings much.

Rosella's pizzeria/ristorante is our favourite restaurant. It is situated in the main piazza of Sicili in Campania and is open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Hi there, does anyone have experience of using satellite broadband for their internet in Italy. Did some research about three years ago and it was rather expensive. If anyone has got it, have the prices now come down and who are they using.

Ciao tutti, siamo John & ToniWe first fell in love with southern Italy in 2005 on our holiday to Sicili, which is near Policastro in the Salerno province of Campania.

Sorry to hear about your fear Terry. We are going in a right hand drive car so which ever one of us is driving will be closest to the edge, which may be a little easier than being the nervous passenger on that side we guess??? It is thanks to AlanH on the forum that we have decided to take the Grimsel and Furka pass routes. We asked about a scenic route through the Alps and he came up trumps. We liked the look of the Stelvio pass (the one that was on Top Gear a while back), but it is too far over for us because we are heading down to our holiday home in Santa Marina (Campania) with a short stop over in Rome. Just hope the pass will be open by the time we go! If not we will do it the other way later in the year. Hope to be able to stop and take some impressive photos. So will post some on here when we get back. John & Toni
Many thanks for all the contributions. We have decided to go with RIMCN's suggestion of the Holiday Inn. It sounds ideal - we just need somewhere not too far from the motorway where we can sleep, eat and then get on our way through the grimsel pass early the next morning. Just in case anyone else is thinking of stopping there, they are offering up to 20% off if reservation is made more than 21 days in advance. John & Toni
Hi Alan - You have pretty much confirmed what we have thought may be the case regarding Switzerland accommodation being quite pricey and not much in the way of B & B's. Shall also keep the "cards welcome" bit in mind too. We are heading Sarnen way because ideally we want to go through the grimsel and furka passes. As we are going around the time that the pass usually opens we thought we would stop near Sarnen so that if necessary we could double back a bit and go through the san gottard tunnel if the passes are not open by then. As always, thanks for the useful info. John & Toni
Hi AM We use Robertson McIssac to insure our holiday home in Italy. They cover earthquakes and the premium that we pay is very reasonable. Here is the link to their foreign home insurance page http://www.rmib.co.uk/foreign_home.html If you scroll down that page there is also a direct email, phone number and contact form. Although we have never had to make a claim they always come across as efficient in our dealings with them. Good luck. Toni & John
Felice anno nuovo anche voi! - Happy new year also to all of you!
.........................just a few decorations. Only said the other day "should we be taking our Christmas tree with us to Italy when we move there" to my husband. He didn't know the answer, but I suspect someone here can tell me what is the norm for Italy. Thanks Toni
would rather travel the extra miles than give Michael O'Leary our money. Shame easyjet are not negotiating instead!
Ciao Billy Have you driven down to Puglia? If so, be interested to know how long it took and whether you took the long route through the Alps or if you went through the tunnels. John & Toni
Thanks for the suggestions. We like the sound of both routes, but we think that Alan's will be our preferred option. Having looked on google earth it looks like the extra time travelling will be well spent and the scenery will be wonderful provided we don't get a load of low cloud like you Blue and Mon. We can't wait! Many thanks again John & Toni
Yes thanks!
