Appears there is a virus originally found earlier this year, that many AV companies and firewalls have had problems stopping. Zonealarm free firewall does not stop it, although the full version now does.

This looks like another new tax that has just been introduced here. On each prescription item, you have to pay 21 cents, even if the medication previously was free.

Does anybody have any recipes for cooking black truffles. We had one today, cooked in an omelette in the French style, but would like to know if anyone has used them with pork, as still have another 2 to use up before they go off.

I sincerely hope that the meteo is wrong, but it seems that this weekend we are in for a lot of rain. After all the good recent weather, then this is a major disaster after all the time and effort that has gone into arranging this event.

As a rough guide and this is based on the reports that we carry out, it is between 3-3.5 Euros + IVA @ 20%, per square metre of the property.

These have been in force in a partial way over a number of years, the first being law 10/91 and then followed by law 192/2005. These basically were applied to new builds or full rebuilds of property and had to be lodged with the local commune. What is happening now is that 192/2005 is coming into basically full force as the time span was to cover a few years. Articles are in English.

As Serge says, I do not think you would be able to get anywhere, especially not into the UK, without a passport. The ½ûÂþÌìÌà Identity card does say that it is not valid for leaving the country, so a passport should still be carried within the European Union, outside of Italy.

Your best bet is to get a Nationwide Flexaccount and with that card you can draw money out of the Post Office ATM's. We spoke to our Banca Della Marche branch, and they have said that there are restrictions put on debit cards, but not on credit cards at the ATM's. Perhaps the main banks don't get any commission on debit cards.

Don't know if this is in all Post Offices, but in Amandola they have a ticket system, just like some supermarkets. Seems to work very well, as your number is displayed on a board with whichever counter you need to go.
