Questions Asked

I can't be the only one bemused by the recent IMU announcements.I've not missed what is happening to prima casa. Has anyone got any idea about what is happening to second home IMU or by which date that is to be made clear?

Apologies, no idea what just happened. Does anyone know the content of the austerity budget? Or is able to point me to a summary. I know that health charges have increased and so have taxes but I am interested in the details.

I've lost touch recently. Can anyone summarise what's in the finance discussions for the new budget next year? I know its currently under discussion.

 I imagine most comune have now published their summer events, it would be good to use this thread to collect recommendations and weblinks.Perinaldo has published its events programme at www.perin

Can the sidebar  item for private messages show the number of new private messages or notifications?  I found I hadn't realised I had any until I went into that section.  Thanks.

 Don't forget to compare income tax rates - higher than UK and medical costs etc.

 Jotul's italian website has prices on it, I think you would be able to check the technical specifications and heating volumes there or on one in another language.  But as someone else has said you will be feeding it wood at a considerable rate to achieve the maximum calorific potential.  If it isn't heresy what about gas central heating?  Less labour but a higher installation cost.

 I believe the local Jotul  supplier/installer is based in Triora.  Have you tried him?

 Here is the link to the artichoke info.  I think it is usually in May. Its always a bit of a slow food event.http://lnx.perinaldo.org/node/14Often there are demos of recipes, artichoke preparation and of course food, mostly all including, yes artichokes.The Cuban evening is usually a cuban band, some dancing, cocktails and a cuban platter of food, lots of rice, beans, some meat - this year it was a little chilli beef and lots of roast pork in huge hunks...  The next event is the chesnut roasting in October , huge pans proudly shaken over open fires.Hope the arm is healing.

 It certainly captures the feel of the area.  The medieval hill towns on their hilltops - a lovely sight.  This is my area of Liguria so I know it fairly well.  Most places have torte verde or its friend on offer.  Perinaldo has a variety of sagre but its special one is provencal artichokes DOC no less. On the other hand along with Cervo it has an annual Cuban evening..... The white (dried) beans of Pigna are very sought after for Capra and fagioli ... They're actually quite nice boiled up with onion and seasoned with olive oil and herbs.Some of the hilltowns in this area are still largely unoccupied - Buggio a fraz of Pigna is a good example at the head of the valley with deserted and semi ruined houses.

 Although I wonder if it was written by reading the Liguria tourist info.  He certainly gets some of his valleys mixed up and misses out all sorts of interesting things about Pigna... Still a bit more sympathetic than usual.

 There seems to be a fair amount of property currently for sale at the local agency in Apricale.  I imagine you know it since you are interested in this village. They also have appartments to rent.  You will be able to get the bus from Ventimiglia to Apricale a few times a day.

 You could always put in a perimeter fence without watchtowers and machine guns and plant a hedge inside that....alternatively an electric fence seems to have a worthwhile deterrent effect on Sig, Sigra and bimbi cinghiale.
