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.

By the way, I find this publication most useful and full of interesting information on suppliers, etcÂ
Thank you for your comments missjanem+c. Your project sounds like a wonderful one. Very challenging and rewarding. I wish you all the best!
Modicasa is absolutely right. When we purchased our home, we had to request our bank to issue two separate certified cheques, one was for the bank, to pay off the seller's mortgage and the other to the seller, for the balance of payment. This is done all over the world. Common practice. Good luck with the sale!Â
I think that this information may help youÂ
Another idea could be to exchange English for ½ûÂþÌìÌà lessons or conversation practice. Every bit helps.
And another one that belongs to the Mayor of Bagni di LuccaÂ
Here is an address to checkÂ
Praiano! How lucky you are! We spent a great week there last year. As you wish to come to Tuscany, Â I think that you would enjoy Bagni di Lucca, where we spend part of the year, thermal spa and just a beautiful place, handy as a base to visit Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Siena, Volterra...All can be done on day trips. There are some working farmhouses in the area. I will try to find out their names.
You will get better fares and more possibilities flying from New York JFK to Rome and then get a bus, or train to Naples. Check the Air France site, www.airfrance.us as they regularly have special offers. I fly with them a lot to and from San Francisco and I can recommend them.
If you are enrolled in an ½ûÂþÌìÌà language school, check with them if they offer homestay arrangements with ½ûÂþÌìÌà families. These arrangements are usually convenient and also provide immersion in the language and culture.
