Hi Penny, Thanks for letting me know I was being too vague! I will do a bit of research this afternoon and will try and narrow down my region. My husband kept telling me Tuscany was in Northern Italy - haha, so I just presumed and didnt check up on that :)So I need to basically choose a region and research region by region to narrow down an area which I would like to know more about - am I on the right track???I suppose we will only actually know once we have visited the country as to where we would like to move to.You have been such a great help on all my topic discussions! THANKS!Ill narrow it down and let you know :) Kind Regards,Tammy.

Hi Chardonnay, No, I have never heard of Parma Project - is that what it is called? I can search it online I guess. Let me know if that is what it is called.Thank you so much for letting me know! Im just trying to get some schools from people who know Italy and the schools there as I could search any schools but dont have a clue as to whether or not they are good or bad schools! Regards,Tammy...x

Wow,I am really just LOVING this whole website! The communication and advice you get is SO SO helpful! And it gets to you so quickly too!!!Well....we aren't completely stuck on the idea of Tuscany, but once we have hopefully visited in December, we may have a better idea of where we want to be.We will hopefully manage to get teaching positions in international schools.....not the local schools and I am guessing this would be better for us financially and behaviour wise :)If we purchase land or a house in Italy, it would be in my husbands name,l so with his British Passport, hopefully we wouldnt have too many problems.With him holding a british passport, does that make it easy for him to get into Italy (to live there)? I know its always more complicated with our South African Passports, no matter where in the world we go :SThanks again for all your help guys! Keep the information rolling! Im all for website referrals at the moment, so if you know of any good ones, please pass them on :) Regards,Tammy...x

WOW! Hi Ian, Thanks SO much for your advice :)I dont know a lot about Italy so your advice is appreciated! We are kind of just looking around at the moment - not planning on buying just yet.We are from South Africa but are working in Saudi Arabia and are looking for something different at this point.Could you explain to me what a commune is?We are not stuck on Tuscany so will definately be looking around at other areas. Hopefully our holiday to Italy in December will work out so we can come and see what things are like there :)Thanks so much again - sorry its not a long email in reply, but I have to be off - I will get back to you with any questions I have.Regards,Tammy. P.S: I am also new to the community and the whole Italian research thing so you are not alone...hehe :P

Thanks for the advice :)We would probably rent first, but we want to get into the international property market so just checking out pricing etc....Tammy.

Hi Penny, I hold a South African passport, but my husband has a British passport - would you know how this affects buying property in Italy at all?Do you know any websites where I could look to rent?Thank you for your comment. Regards,Tammy.

Thanks for letting me know everyone.We would definately be looking at International or private schools only. Do you know if the reform has affected these teachers at all? Do you know where I could find some information on this?Regards,Tammy.
