Hi there I wonder if anyone has the contact details of Notaio who used to post on the old forum. Also I would be interested to hear from anyone who used his services. Thanks

Questions Asked
Hi there I wonder if anyone knows of an English speaking Italian who would be willing to do some telephone translating and a site visit in the Communanza area? No serious technical translation needed just basic stuff.

If you had an opportunity, what aspect or design of your house would you change to cope with Italian winters?I am not talking about the obvious, more insulation etc but changes that would make living easier.

We are considering a house and cortile surrounded by farmland and I was wondering if anyone here has experience of living in a house like this.

HelloAs some of you know we are trying to buy a ruin or house to demolish and rebuild in the Aso Valley, Marche. The main things we are looking for are a great view and about 250 square meters of buildable space.

Penny well done for taking up this massive fight. Do you remeber the Abruzzo toxic waste thread on the old forum. if I remember correctly someone on the thread managed to get the EU in Brussels to take up the fight. Surely this is an open and shut EU "discrimination" case. Perhaps you could go along this route as well?
I agree. For me reading Gomorrah was intensely depressing. Such a beautiful country being raped over and over again. Has anyone ever had the water on their land tested for contamination? I would especially be interested to know if any companies do tests for toxic waste and pesticide contamination not the usual alkalinity nitrates etc.
I am always amazed to see how much this kind of dampproof membrane has degraded if left sticking out from the wall. It is brittle and breaks very easily after a few years. I wonder if this is a factor of the sun or if it is breaking down below the concrete as well
Not waffle at all. Very interesting. The porch is an excellent idea and I have also wondered myself why more Italian houses don't have one. How is your back area designed? Is it a roofed "porch" with one side open? I would love to see a picture if it is not too intrusive.
Well She is certainly in my top 20 of Marche agents. They actually answered an enquiry. I will let you know how it goes.
Strange that she is based in Termoli selling properties in Marche. Good pictures on her site; pity the locations are not mentioned
Some very interesting points in this thread but I have to say that the staggeringly unoriginal title should prepare you for the attempt to stoke up some sensation/shock horror. Well done to them for chasing a dream and having the courage to decide it was not for them however I have several issues with the article.The last time I looked Rome was a city so why the move back to London? Nothing mentioned…I see that they are selling products from other producers presumably in the surrounding area of the “”backward” Loro Piceno. I wonder how these producers and the writer’s numerous Italian friends will react to their observations of the backwards people and Marche country life. Hopefully a local paper will translate and publish all their witty Notting Hill observations.The generalizations are also laughable. We missed the city therefore all humans are more creative in a crowded environment. I suppose no-one told Wordsworth et all that you had to live in a city to be creative. However the best indication of the vacuous nature of some folk and how they need to have something going on all the time to distract them from who they are is this quote:“There is a reason why humans have evolved systems, structures, rules, boundaries, jobs, bosses, hierarchies, weekends. If every moment of every day is yours alone to decide what to do with, who to be with, what to achieve, then every failure, every moment of discontent, every tear is your own stupid fault.”How sad that you need someone else to blame for your choices in life! I can’t think of a better way to live my life than being in control of every moment. With an attitude like this they were predestined to fail in the country away from Argos and Channel 4.The bottom line is that many people need constant distractions around them to block out any deeper thoughts. Better to be doing anything rather than thinking or being.
Thanks for all the info everyone myabruzzohome yes we can plant the cortile to make a lovely garden and erosion did worry me especially if the farmer ploughs straight up and down the hill. Penny I guess the question would be why did you want a typical house in a field ;-) we have researched it thoroughly and at this moment in time and for the foreseable future (perhaps not always) this is what we want. Allan Mason do you mind me asking what issues you are having with the farmer ( if that is not too personal) ? Have you found the dust or insecticides a problem? karenr thanks for that. You live in a beautiful area. Come on Ram , Surely you must get bored with all that lovely sunshine???
