Questions Asked

After my success answering Annec's question, its my turn. However, I’m not clever enough for an ‘Italian’ question – so I’ll go for one with a ‘Greek’ connection insteadI’m a ‘sad’ man who likes numbers.

I use one, a Bip&Go in France - one that my son has. 

It's simple to use - fix it at the windscreen, or hold it up when approaching the toll booth, and the arm rises as you approach.  Use the Telepass booths with a 30 on it and you should be able to drive through at about 25kph.

I'd highly recommend them as you avoid any queueing at the 'pay' booths.

As always - very useful information from Ugo.

When I bought my place, about 20 years ago, the Estate Agent accompanied to the Notary and translated for me.  He also helped set up Bank Account and Standing Orders for gad electric and water charges.

According to my online translation 

"pipemiere"  means "pipe smith"  - hence my link to possible tobacco pipe making

"pipe miere" means "mine pipes" - hence possible link to mining.

 

But - who knows?????

Alternatively,  he may have worked making pipes (for smoking tobacco)  - apparently it was quite an industry at the end of 19th/early 20th Century in Lombardia.
