This is "funghi porcini" time and you will find them sold fresh everywhere. A great time to enjoy them. There are many ways to prepare them: sauces, garnishes, omelettes, pasta....

Further to previous posts and threads, I did not get an answer from Admin regarding the current status for "Northern Tuscany" group... Consequently, I decided to do something different and I requested the creation of a new group...

Could anyone explain why it is not possible to access the Northern Tuscany Group? I am supposed to be its Administrator and I have not received any information regarding this.

We are just back from a n enjoyable week in Rome and I must mention the great coffee we had at Piazza Sant'Eustachio, a sort of "sanctuary" for all coffee lovers.

We were driving around Lucca when I saw at a newsagent a headline from regional newspaper "Il Tirreno" stating that the Royal couple were coming to Lucca during their honeymoon.

I travel to San Francisco, California, quite frequently as my two daughters live there. I love the city and I have always noticed its strong Italian influence.

As Modi suggests, there are different categories, depending on whether permits, detailed plans by professionals, etc. are needed. Even for "manutenzione", there is "ordinaria " and "straordinaria". Here is the full list and description according to the Institute of Architects http://www.ordinearchitetti.fi.it/pagine.asp?PaginaId=129
I think that the expression you are after is "intervento di manutenzione straordinaria "
No idea, regarding your specific questions; however, this site may be of help http://www.fise.it
Well, you asked a difficult question, because I do not think that you have the right name for the dish. Now, "Nadal" means Christmas in several European languages and "frittelle" are popular Italian doughnuts served at Christmas time. So putting all this together, this may be the recipe you are searching for: http://christinascucina.com/2013/12/zeppole-traditional-italian-christmas.html

As for hotels in Benevento, try booking.com or tripadvisor.com And choose something in the city center.
Jeanne, I found this for you http://www.italianside.com/campania/benevento/buonalbergo/genealogy/As you will see, it gives valuable advice and ideas and can also put you in touch with professional genealogists, who can overcome many difficulties untrained people may have.Taurasi is some 15 miles away from Benevento. I am certain that there will be even public transport going there, but a taxi is always an option. Another piece of advice, if you have to do research in the old books and registers, take with you a pair of white cotton gloves, a lead pencil and some paper to take notes.mif the authorities see you armed with these, they will think that you are an experienced researcher and trust you with the books. You should always wear the gloves when going through the pages and only lead pencils (no ink to avoid accidents) are allowed.
Glad to help, Jeanne. I am afraid that I have not been in Benevento for quite a long time, but I remember it as a city worth visiting. In you case, it would be vital. Some 3 years ago, I was involved in the search of my husband's grandfather's baptism certificate in a small town near Ravenna. It was a difficult search, as it did not appear in the parish index (someone made a mistake and forgot to insert it) and it was handwritten in Latin... It took us three days of searching and reading all the books to finally find it, which was a thrill! This is why I sympathies with you and I can already tell you that all searches take considerable time and effort.Sorrento is a wonderful town to visit, but it is not a convenient place to base yourselves. Benevento is ideal.you will find some information here http://www.lonelyplanet.com/italy/campania/benevento and I advise you to get one of the Lonely Planet books as they are excellent guides.Best wishes.
