Hi there - doing some research. Anyone know if there is a river Indaco near Ortezzano???Thanks in advance
I may have asked this in the past, but don't know how to search old posts. Anyway,we're spending our first family Christmas in Italy this year. Any favourite recipes gratefully received.
I've just booked flights for 23rd December for whole family including seni-reluctant grown-up children. Two scenarios present themselves to me.

What's with Belgium?? Flying back yesterday (1st July) we could see fireworks going off all over the country.

Went to see this movie last night in Oxford. Probably one of the slowest films with the least happening that I have ever seen - but actually it was perfect! Shot in Calabria - in part in Serra San Bruno - everyone will recognise a little vignett
I have just receved a document from Ray Ellis which those with an interest in recent-ish history might like to share. I don't know if I can attach it so have copied it in its entirety below - apologies therefore for length of post. Ray Ellis was

I signed up to the Internazionale online without any probs - so it's certainly worth a try. And saves a fortune in calls all over Europe. I don't think there are any limitations ......
let's hope this is at least the end of the beginning
Would that be before or after the grenades had blown it up???!
I second Terry's recommendation of "Italy's Sorrow". Harrowing reading though, since it is mostly personal testimony of a bloody carnage that has always unfairly played second fiddle to D-Day. Not your region, but there is a lot of information about PoWs camps in Marche here: http://camp59survivors.wordpress.com/
Logged on to BBC website???? Do tell - if it can be used for web access as well that makes it even better!!
Bought mine in UK, took it out to Italy and downloaded newspapers daily. Came back to UK and Kindle still registered in UK. I haven't used it since my return. But I do have the 3G version.
WE don't have wi-fi in our house in S Marche but having bourght the more expensive 3G Kindle that worked fine. Halfway up a mountain last week we saw Obama on the telly in the bar and I was able on returning to the house to download The Times on a free trial to find out what was going on. Pretty cool - though the Thunderer isn't my newspaper of choice....
I'm with you Casa. Immigration is used as a political football and cheap vote-mongering. There's a case in UK this week where a woman trafficked from Moldova was sent back,despite her applying for asylum, because the authorities did not consider her at risk. Guess what? She was kidnapped again, tortured, gang-raped and re-trafficked. She's in the news because she had the gumption to sue the UK Government who have just paid her damages. It's worth remembering the human plight behind so many of these cases. And to take the long view. Remember the panic about Poles flooding the UK a few years back? Now we're complaining we can't find any more plumbers because they've gone home again! The UK is a mongrel nation and has been ever since the Normans invaded. And all the better for it...
The rules about registering even if staying in a hotel go way back beyond 2001 and I've always thought they were just unrepealed bits of fascist law - though given the Red Brigade, the "years of Lead" and the neo-fascist bombing of Bologna station I can see how they may be old anti-terrorist laws.
