An alternate to ENEL. For all of us that have had enough of the confusion and pricing with ENEL - there is an option.

Has anyone seen the article in the London Times today (19 Aug) about Basilicata? I don't have a subscription to their site so will need to see if I can track down a print copy.

Has anyone filed a claim for property or vehicle damage with their UK based insurance company?

Gala is right, I have seen them on amazon.it. Most Italians use a stove top pressure cooker for similar results, though much quicker. These you will find in any kitchen store and work very well.

Our experience is that most Italians are very patient with foriegners who at least try to speak Italian. They do love to talk and so any exchange, no matter the level of grammar, is welcomed.

Connor,As alan mentions you can get euro direct from an ATM (bancomat). My bank provides an excellent exchange when I use my US ATM card here, much better than you will get at any exchange purchase outside of Italy. We always tell our guests to use the ATMs, there is one in every airport. Be sure to tell your banks you will be travelling and have a contact number for them you can use from here.Also our experience is that everyone at the weekly markets excepts only cash.

I can't give you specific answers but you may want to start with the Italian consulate where you live for answers.You will be liable for taxes in the US on your US income.You will also be eligible for dual citizenship since you are married to an Italian citizen.I'd recommend you start on your end with the consulate and your husband should inquire here at the Questura.

There is no appointment needed at the comune (anagrafe office) but they usually only have morning hours M-F and a few hours on Tuus and Thurs afternoon, but you should check the Genoa comune web-site.

Cheryl,Familysearch.org has some records for Genoa on-line. Have you been to Genoa? There are cheap flights from England to Genoa and you could go for a few days and experience where your family came from while looking for the records at the comune offices. Italians are very welcoming to people coming back to search for their family roots.

Pasquale,Where are you located? If you are certain he is from Moiano the easiest way, and with the most fulfilling experience for you, would be to visit the town and ask locally at the comune and church.If that is not practical you can start with family in your area and start your search from your home country. Unfortunately the records for Moaino are not on-line. They are available via microfilme from the nearest Family Search Center to you.Civil records in Campania go back at least to 1809 and are available to 1860 for this town. Writing or emails to the comunes here in the south usually have little to no results. They tend to respond only to people in-person.In bocca al lupo!

You will still need a geometra to get all of the necessary permits and approvals.Costs for materials will of course depend on what you plan to build? What will you reuse from the existing structure, ectc

Try ParkVia.I found this on a web search: http://www.parkvia.com/en-GB/airport-parking/pescara?gclid=CjwKEAjwk_OhBRD06abu3qSoxlwSJACt7sZ7DkQt496FkWWmL4dL_5J6PiofwvOcYRYDPtAczMTFqRoCaIDw_wcBThe rates at the airport are a bit steep.
