Last week I went to check on our house outside falerone: Ok House is stretching it a bit, lets say "part restored farmhouse". I was a lttle scared when I heard a noise upstairs.
Hi, I am shocked at the price of our gas from the bomolonne and want to get Italgas in fro all of the apartments. I wanted to get in touch with Italgas but the number on the site is only for gas escapes and not available from outside Italy.
Hi there Welcome to the frustrations of Italy. Sadly, what you are describing sounds unbelievably frustrating and also very typical of the country and the region. The adage, its not what you know but who you know is more true in Italy than elsewhere. I would suggest you get your employer to call the relevant office or find a lawyer in Le Marches who can connect with these officials. I can introduce you to someone reliable in Civitanova but it depends on your own location because you need someone that knows someone. I wish you luck and try and remember that many as the frustrations are, the charms of Italy always seem to outweigh them F
It's really quite difficult to understand for me because there are things that really do frustrate me about the place but you are absolutely right: there is something about the place that is impossible not to love Welcome to the forum F
Hi, this looks pretty straightforward and you may not need a website With German citizenship your husband, and you (as his wife) can live in Italy. i think that is all that there is to it F
This time the old Romance v pragmatism argument is wearing dirty clothes and enjoying licking olive oil off its fingers Our trees have been moved a year ago so no fruit this year and we are hopeful to enjoy the most impractical, expensive and satisfying oil ever F
It might not be easy but it has to be right. To use something once that then lasts for a hundred years is madness. Of course there are problems but we need to start somewhere. Weren't we al told having a home in Italy was madness but we did it. Who would have thought the cigarette ban would have largely worked, but it has. C'mon guys, get positive and sign the petition. You need ot scroll to the bottom of a fairly lousy website but the plan is good F
If your transfer is within the EU (ie you use a branch of UBS in Europe, not Switzerland as this is outside eu) the transfer is free and takes 3 days . An express transfer costs €25 make sure the bank is bonded like the UK banls where the government covers deposits to a level: I am unsure how much this is. using a number of banls up to this level safeguards your cash but increases your expenses F
Hi there again. There is an option on translation: generally the principle in law is that in order for a contract to be binding the parties must be "able to sign". A part of this is to understand the contract. The Notary therefore needs to be satisfied that the signatories can understand the act. The act has to be in Italian and if a translation is used (as a translation not as the actual act) a qualified translator has to swear that it is a fair translation. The alternative that has been used in our sales to non Italian speakers is a little simpler. The buyer appoints an Italian speaking person (we know a bilingual lawyer who does this) and gives them a one time, single purpose power of attorney (POA) which in Italian is called a "Delega". The translator certifies the POA and then the lawyer then carries out the purchase for them using the POA. This is simpler and cheaper but you MUST MUST trust the person you are giving the Delega to. In addition to these people you need a non interested bilingual witness. You would need to check with your Notary if the Geometra is classed as an interested party. Fabrizio
