Some people do not seem to suffer the consequences of a world crisis. A Chinese gambling magnate has just paid US$ 330,000 for two white truffles, the largest one from Tuscany and the other one from Molise, at a charity auction.

Hi! My youngest daughter, Natalia, helps as a volunteer in Save a Bunny San Francisco. They have at present more than 80 bunnies in the refuge and little or no money.

Just a reminder that the Iris Gardens in Florence will be open this year between the 24th of April and the 20th of May. A magnificent collection with over 2,500 varieties.

Once upon a time... in the Old, defunct Forum (God bless its soul!), we had a very funny thread on Forum Characters. I found the link that shows those characters and it is still very appropriate for the Community. So here you are....

Winter is almost here and this time of the year is not a favourite season for gardeners.

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.
