We have new cotto floor tiles that have already been treated with a matt finish impregnating product but are still proving to stain easily. We are looking to seal it with a wet look product and our geometra recommends that we go for the traditional wax approach.

This sounds like a lot of messing around as it needs to be taken of an redone every few years and is a lot of work to apply in the first place. We bought a solvent-based resin (Nordcotto per Interni) this summer but haven't applied it yet.

I have been living in Italy from 1971. I have got used to the Italian ways of live; I accept it but I am unable to preform Italian. After so many years I am unable to use the car horn, even though it is a mandatory accessory in Campania.

I must say that, even though there are many come backs, I would not change the Italian way of Life (what ever region) with the English one.

Every time I go to England I can not wait to get back to Italy.

Does anybody have similar experiences or am i the mad one ?
