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.

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....

Well, he (Zilli) obviously knows how to promote his business, which does not necessarily mean that his cooking is any good. But then, some people like to go to "fashionable" restaurants, even if what they serve is not particularly memorable. I notice that Zilli has not been awarded any Michelin star. On the other hand, Locatelli has.
What seems to be clear, at least for me, is that the old generation should retire to allow the younger ones to prove their worth. Italy is full of mummies, both right and left.
I totally agree with you, they do not have a clear leader...or then, they may surprise us. It will be interesting to watch.

Yes, I agree with Fillide. After 5 years ownership, whether prima casa or holiday home, no capital gains tax. At least for the time being.....
I think that this confirms what a local geometra told my husband, that they were trying to update the "catasto" because, as from next year, taxes will be calculated on the habitable area of the house, instead of the built area. As we updated everything about a couple of years ago, we have nothing to worry. Actually, we may end up paying less as our walls are more than 70cm thick!!!!Â
Hi, if you enter the words "register UK car" where the "Search" button is (top, right hand side), you will find lots of information. Someone may help with your specific questions.
