Every May in a tiny village called Testa dell'Acqua just 15 minutes from Noto they hold a small but very nice open market day where local farmers and artisans gather to sell their produce. Here are some photos from that event.

There are a lot of "Italian Mysteries" - strange events in politics and society in general for which no full explanation was ever given and no-one has ever managed to uncover what is going on.

It is great to see that some people are already taking on board the wiki idea and beginning to create their own guides to places.

Everyone registered up to a couple of minutes ago is now officially a full blown member. As most everyone is coming over from the forums I thought that was a reasonable thing to do as there is no need to prove your willingness to participate.

As a few people have asked:Groups are a way to group people around a common theme. It may be a region of Italy, a little town, a hobby, etc.Groups are also a means to discuss privately.

I've added paging by default (a new page every 30 comments) and also you can personalise it any way you prefer.however - could I suggest that you start a new post for every question?it is enough you tag them with "abruzzo quiz" and we will be able to collect them under a category automatically. also it will be easier to understand what is the question we are dealing with without having to go through lots of pages, etc -
hopefully the new links at the top will ensure that you never loose something you created or a post you participated in. New activity gives you all the posts that you haven't read yet, my activity gives you all the posts you have participated in and my posts gives you just the content you created.
no great consipary - your pointer passes over "Italian Property" and as a result you see the property sub-menu...I've changed the settings to reduce the sensitivity so you have to hover a bit more over property before you see that submenu - hopefully this will improve things for you.
we should start a movement to get Italy to participate once more - San Remo just doesn't offer the same entertainment value...Who remembers Toto Cutugno and "insieme... unite unite europe" :bigsmile: (sorry I know I am not a member of the Red Lion )
Hi elicat - thanks for joining and the great intro. Looks like you have a lot to offer - we have a small girl which is growing up bilingual (and tri-cultural almost!) but one of the challenges we are finding is to create more opportunities for her to speak English with others (as there are few English expats in South Sicily and even fewer with kids!)if you have any questions about the site and how to use it please askronald
just realised that this pizzeria is called "Rebel Angels" - that is original :)
I searched Google for "pecore, abruzzo, inverno" and the only stories that came up are about sheep being eaten up by bears or wolves...http://newscontrol.repubblica.it/item/509310/orso-sbrana-tre-pecore-in-a...Then I though ok let us just ask Google straight "Dove vano le pecore di Abruzzo in inverno" and I get the answer "nei pagliai" - which obviously raises the question: "What ARE pagliai then...."So back to Google with "pagliai, pecore" which gives nothing much. Then we try Google Images and I get thishttp://www.leditoriale.com/uploads/news/1226434876-1698-pagliare-tione_b...and thishttp://www.leditoriale.com/index.php?page=news&news=149and that is my answer. H) :)
that last dish looks seriously interesting - thanks for sharing
thanks - get ready to test restaurant reviews in about 5 min!
1. In the piazza you see posts that are relevant to you - so if you are a member of the Marche group you will see Marche group postings in the piazza etc.2. This post was created under the Help Group AND the Marche Group (cross-posting) and that is why Gala (who is not a marchese) can see it
