I just heard that the ½ûÂþÌìÌà MotoGP pilot Marco Simoncelli has died in a horrific accident at Sepang (Malaysia) during the Grand Prix.

This is "funghi porcini" time and you will find them sold fresh everywhere. A great time to enjoy them. There are many ways to prepare them: sauces, garnishes, omelettes, pasta....

Further to previous posts and threads, I did not get an answer from Admin regarding the current status for "Northern Tuscany" group... Consequently, I decided to do something different and I requested the creation of a new group...

Could anyone explain why it is not possible to access the Northern Tuscany Group? I am supposed to be its Administrator and I have not received any information regarding this.

We are just back from a n enjoyable week in Rome and I must mention the great coffee we had at Piazza Sant'Eustachio, a sort of "sanctuary" for all coffee lovers.

We were driving around Lucca when I saw at a newsagent a headline from regional newspaper "Il Tirreno" stating that the Royal couple were coming to Lucca during their honeymoon.

I travel to San Francisco, California, quite frequently as my two daughters live there. I love the city and I have always noticed its strong ½ûÂþÌìÌà influence.

Hi Chris and good to meet you again here.
Wikis are totally new to me and I have to get used to this; however, I think that Garda's idea of a sitemap with content listed in an orderly manner is great and the way to go.
As you say, reconstruction work is going to be very important in order to help local craftspeople and Abruzzo has a long tradition of very talented people.I am sure that a high rank Spanish representative will attend, possibly the King himself, as he was born in Rome during the exile of the Royal Family and he loves Italy.
I understand that the Spanish government is in the process of organising funds for the restoration of the Spanish Fort. It was a personal request made by Berlusconi to Prime Minister Zapatero when he was asked about what kind of help he wanted to have for Abruzzo.
I feel sorry for the people of La Maddalena as they had very high expectations. At the same time, I am not sure whether moving the event to Abruzzo is going to bring any real benefit to the victims. And it is not difficult to realise that the staging is going to be a logistics nightmare.
Girona (on the Spanish side) may be a good alternative, but I do not see anything direct from Brindisi. From Girona you will have to drive to Gruissan. Up to now, the less complicated seems to go all the way from point to point by car. Unless you could get very cheap connecting flights, which may be difficult or impossible to find.
There are still some gremlins in the system which will be sorted out very soon. Go to the group you wish to join and follow the instructions. It looks more complicated now, but it is not really. We all need to get used to this. :)
There must be some gremlins in the system. I started the Northern Tuscany group and now I cannot post this message in it...
This should have been the initial post for the new "Northern Tuscany" group. What went wrong? I think I did the same thing that I did for the "Gardening" group. I will check but please give me some clues.
I have just opened two groups, Gardening and Northern Tuscany which I started in the old forum and which were quite popular. Let's see how they go.
