Does anyone know where I can get an english copy of the instructions for filling in the 'unico mini' tax return form? My Italian is good but this has me baffled!!

We have just received our new tessere and they are now micro chipped. There is an accompanying letter that days we have to take it to the 'appositi sportelli' to have them validated.

I have just received my tessera after a lot of chasing. It is only valid for one year. Is this normal?

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions about how we can deter a very persistent crow from trying to break into our house? This started about a month ago when we noticed strange marks on our glass doors and windows.

Hi Its me again! I do find this forum so useful.As I said in my previous post (is it too much?) we moved into our house in November and we have found it quite an experience so far.

Having moved into our new home in November we are about to renovate the area around the house. The area is part concrete and part rubble/ shale. As we have steep woodlands at the back the area needs good drainage. The area measures 230 m2.

Thanks for all your comments. We don't want to use concrete. It is a large area and will look pretty awful done in concrete. Thanks in particular to mbc. Its good to get an opinion from the horses mouth as it were. I think we'll probably try to knock hime down by a couple of k but are happy to use him as we've seen the quality of his work.
Thanks Penny. The builder has given us a very detailed breakdown of the work to be carried out and the total area(230 m2) He seems very professional and has assured us that planning permission is not necessary for the work. He has given us a price for the job €20000, rather than a day rate. Is that the norm here?
Thanks. I appreciate that getting 3 quotes is a sensible idea but as we ae new here it's hard to find accredited builders to get quotes from. There is a big renovation going on next door to us and the owner has recommended the builder we got this's quote from.
I couldn't agree more!
It can't come soon enough! I love Venice but last time we were there our stay was ruined by the sight of those great ugly cruise ships which are completely incongruous in the lagoon. Not only that, but the sheer volume of tourists that they spill out each time they dock is a bit like trying to pour a quart into a pint pot!
Have accessed their help line va their 800 number as we don't get Vod signal up here. They just keep telling me that there is a problem activating the line. I will have a go at using the dongle on my notebook next time were out and about and can get a signal.
All the kit arrived atend of November. Unfortunately we don't have Vodafone cell coverage here but I have registered online via my iPhone and it just keeps showing status as trying to activate line.
Yes there is a phone line. The previous owners were with Telecom Itala.
I have spoken on the telephone to someone at Banco Posta and they have asssured me that there will be no problem with opening an account. In fact they said I could do it it online.
Thanks everyone
