What moderators.. It was a good detailed reply, but an "Italian one". Well it was late at night. Some "Italian ones" are Shuko, in fact they have all the types... Do a search on "Italian or europen plugs wiki" there is a detailed mass of pages on it.

Well Google maps has become useless for this type of information, used to be quite good... It looks to me that you are not on the outside of the town for you course.... So it depends on the town, but I would have thought a town it that popular area will be controlled regards traffic and parking. Hopefully someone can help better, but a tourist information map would be something to look for....

Well had a look at the site and... why would anyone look at such stuff... Okay, not a tv person as we have more than enough pleasure here in Italy to not want to waste our time (I know some do) on UK TV.. So, going back to your other post on Internet... Until you get this sorted, this post is kind of immaterial ...  These people offer you nothing (unless I've missed something) over Filmon.  If you have not heard of the latter, then you really do need to start doing some home work ....  Offended, so would I be, but I would at least think about what has been said … There is some good intention… smiley

Who are Gran Sasso? Is it town gas? Electricity is alway likely to be ENEL, any other option and I'm sure they will be on the phone to you to change.... More than likely there is only one water company option in your area... Welcome to Italia!!!

Where you are down as living I doubt you have ADSL and even if you did I doubt it would be very good. A quick search for wifi Sarnano indicates there is a lot of local connectivity going on for hotspots for hotels etc, so I would guess it's a remote poor reception area. The dongles you have are a slow speed by today's standards (7.2Mbs is the lowest these days, with 42 the newest and highest), irrelevant if your reception is no good, but if only erratic, then a new dongle or better still MIFI unit would pay off. Then again if you are getting HSDPA (or UMTS) then you should have your dongle set to only connect to this - get back if you need help to check do so. Whatever you do with this type of access do not assume it does not work until you have tried it for an adequate length of time, it can take some time to settle.Not trying to put you off ADSL as I would go for this in the UK at the drop of a hat, just here in Italy I in fact think it has no  future (also in time the same for the UK). Where you are, if you could get it, it would probably end up a total waste of money and a difficult contract to get out of... Ideally there will be a WIFI company like WIMAX (they do not cover you area) that supply access by having lots of repeaters around to get good coverage. It may be there is such near you, but they are small and have not come up in my search, perhaps your neighbours have access or visit the Comune as they seem to be involved in gaining access for businesses in your area.

Might sound daft some of these answers... Exactly where you heading in Tuscany, North, South ? August is a very busy time for car hire, should you not have booked by now? Have you thought of hiring in France and getting the train over from the UK?
