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.

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.

Thanks for the advice. I have looked on their website and if it is possible to get ADSL it will likely only be just over a half meg. We do choose our places to live. We have only been able to get broadband in England via a communal radio wave signal for the last year. Never mind the peace and quiet in the countryside is better than the busy towns and fast broadband.Perhaps by the time we are ready to move to Italy ADSL will be available!
Ciao GiannaWelcome to the community. We joined a couple of days ago and have found it a very good place for all things Italian. Hopefully you will get your trip to Italy next year, otherwise you will be getting withdrawal symptoms! Do you speak Italian? Ciao ciaoJohn & Toni
Thank you to Gala Placidia, cilla10, Valentina and Francesca for your welcoming comments. We are happy to be part of this lovely community. It helps to keep the Italian dream alive while we are back here in England.John & Toni
We have found that you have to be as assertive as the Italian drivers! We have been driving in Naples in the past and at a junction had people come up on both sides of us and try to get out of the junction at the same time! We do still find the bits that jut out on the sides of the road a bit un-nerving especially when something is coming the other way. We have also found that we do sometimes get stared at if we are both in the car and there is a woman driving. It seems normal for the man to drive in those circumstances. It doesn't stop us though. Unfortunately a lot of the Italian women drivers do not seem very confident and it doesn't do the rest of us much of a favour!We have been going to our holiday home in Campania for the last three years and we have found that as long as we put on our Italian driving head as soon as we arrive at Napoli airport we are as prepared as we can be. You just have to be prepared for the different style of driving and let nothing surprise you.We have also found that since driving in Italy we drive slightly differently back here and don't think twice about squeezing in that gap that looks impossible to get in.We wish you luck on your next trip!
