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.

This could be a helpful link regarding insulation materials: Enter "ediliziz" and you will find a catalogue.
Concerning the wardrobe, antique ones always come apart, but you would be paying a fortune and they are not the best for storage. the ones that you can purchase at both IKEA or Mondo Convenienza come in boxes and they need to be assembled. And give the tin garage to the builder.....
Welcome, Rosanella! You sound like a very interesting member and we look forward to hearing more from you. I trust that you will be able to sort out all the problems you currently experience and that you will be able to come back regularly to your wonderful country of origine. We all need to be in contact with our roots.
I think that the advice given by Alanh is very sound. Try to have your own Notaio.Â
Thank you Charlotte. I have noticed the Spanish media publishing similar news. The new law makes more sense and clarifies matters.
I agree. Tips should be strictly limited as a reward for great service. In America, the situation is a mess.
I guess that technically, it could be described as "black money". How many ½ûÂþÌìÌà waiters would declare their tips? Personally, I prefer a service charge. I hate tipping when I go to America. I think that tips are derogatory. A worker should be properly paid for his/her work. And, in any case, we, as clients are paying for the service, whether through a tip, or a service charge.
The same measures are being adopted in Spain....
You always learn something new!!!
Generally, your comune will publish their decision on the website. Â As we do not live in Bagni permanently, sometimes it is a problem to pay at the local Post Office. We arranged with Council to be able to make an electronic transfer to their bank account and to send them a copy of the transfer together with property details and our names to enable them to identify the transfer.Â
