This will enable you to work for as many private organizations as you can afford to, in the same period. Usually a Libero Professionista works on Progetti (see "contratto a progetto" above).Good luck for you projects :)Will PM you with a good language course.Ìý

Liguria! A very nice region that I visited a couple of years ago.ÌýThe land of pesto and of the magic Riviera where you can now enjoy a cycle-pedestrian path that leads you from Tuscany to Southern France. What a better chance to walk the path and take a look at the Alps on a side and to the sea on the other!Hopefully you may enjoy it during your holidays in Liguria!Ìý

Now, if you go in an ½ûÂþÌìÌà bar - from 18 to 20 - you can enjoy an aperitivo and a lot of good "stuzzichini" with it, just ordering a bitter or a martini con ghiaccio.ÌýOf course the aperitivo is becoming more expensive, but you could consider it as an antipasto, cause you won't be too hungry after you had one.

Quote Heiko:"There is some evidence that red wine (a glass or 2 a day!) has beneficial effects on the heart"That's true.My father applies the well known rule of the apple, to the wine:"A glass of wine a day, keeps the doctor away".. actually he often - if not everyday - drinks a half glass of red wine at each meal.For wine lovers, here's a selection of the best (sardinian) wines..Enjoy and ..drink it with moderation.. :)
