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.

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.

Have you retired there?
Hi Brian My Italian is pretty good, almost fluent but a bit rusty. My mother was Italian, a war bride and she spoke no English when she came to England so when I was born I grew up speaking both English and Italian.
My husband and I are at odds at present about where to start looking for a property. We both want to be in Tuscany, but can't afford the more expensive areas. I'm keen on looking in the north, around Pontremoli but he wants to look in the south towards lago di Bolsena, which I know, is in Lazio! Would anyone like to fight the corner for either of these areas. We're planning on coming to Italy in September for about a month on a first real reccie.
Well.... that was going to be one of my first questions! How does the cost of living compare with the UK? I guess it's swings and roundabouts then! We do intend growing some of our own produce. Maybe we should turn vegetarian!... but no, I can't think of Italian food without meat! Sorry all you veggies out there!
