Yes, you are right Karen. "Intonaco" is the plaster layer that will be applied.
Rendo, proper insulation is most important, both in summer and in winter. Insulation is not only for the roof, duble-glazed PVC windows are fabulous. Expensive, yes, but they would save you money in the long run. Study your house and have a close look at those areas that will loose energy due to lack of insulation, drafts and other incidentals. Also Googlr "isolamento termico sottotetto" and you will find plenty of information and names of specialists. Our house dates back to the 17th C, has thick stone walls and a tiled roof and it is located directly over a river. We have managed to make it energy efficient. Our mains gas central heating warms it up in only 20 minutes. OUr energy bills are very reasonable and the house is cool in summer. You can install the best heating system in the world and the most appropriate for your house; however, without proper insulation, you are only wasting energy.
Yes, there is a register. your local vet would be able to help.
