Just watched the qualifiers for the Belgium Grand Prix and Italy are 1st and 2nd - well done Giancarlo Fisichella and Jarno Trulli. Looking forward to the race tomorrow. Not so good for the Brits though, Jenson's 14th and Lewis 12th!!!

Just wondering if anyone has any helpful advice/ experiences of obtaining an Italian mortgage for a non-resident. Some friends of ours are looking to buy a house and are asking if it is easy process and where is best to try first. Many thanks.

Can anyone tell us if there is such a thing as a booster for an Alice Wireless Modem? We have been told that the range is 100m but  there is no signal inside our farmhouse and we are presuming this is because our walls are so thick.This is much le

One of our favourite festas of the summer is coming up very soon  - Castrum Sarnani is a magical glimpse into Medieval life in Sarnano and topped off by an amazing stilt-play complete with fireworks, lights and music.

Thanks Valentina - I know I didn't push the button more than once, but was wondering about if you add it to two or more different topics, so that may well be the cause!

Have sent you a message with a couple of ideas Donna and Jimmy - you will love Le Marche - it is really beautiful and we were just saying the other day that some parts are so much like New Zealand!

Hi Jacquie, We always drive down to Le Marche via Austria - love the route, even though it is slightly longer. The quickest we did it was 25 hours from North Yorkshire to Amandola non-stop. The route avoids Switzerland (we had problems at the boarder there once and it took 2 hours to empty the car and re-load it again, even though it was just bits of furniture we were bringing!). We go through France, Belgium, Luxumbourg (fill up with the cheapest fuel we have found anywhere, just off the motorway), Germany, Austria (via the Brenner Pass) then down past Lake Garda - itis a lovely, varied drive and doesn't get too boaring. There are some great hotels just off the Brenner Pass and the Austrian food is just wonderful - we also call in at the supermarket to stock up on supplies of hauswurst and other delicious bits and pieces we don't have here in Le Marche on the way down. Let us know if you want more details of our route. Happy driving!

Thanks Penny - just tackling the car insurance again and it seems there are 2 boxes for the Bonus/Malus

 

Classe CU (Bonus/Malus) di provenienza

 

or

 

Classe CU (Bonus/Malus) di assegnazione

Sorry but do you put 9 in both as it won't let me continue without filling both boxes in.

 

Many thanks.

Carole, thanks so much - new I could rely on you! That sounds perfect. It was very sad as Vince left Italy for the UK when he was 6 I think, and never returned. Such a shame he did not see more of this wonderful country.

Thanks Angie - bought one of the plain cards yesterday and have attached a flower to it, so hopefully that will be ok.

Thanks so much Carole and Ram - had a quote for Italsure and it was €1261 - Direct line, so far around €800 but then I am probably not putting in the correct bonus/ malus figure. Looks like I need to call my UK insurer to find out what confirmation I can get from them. Will carry on trying!

Thu, 09/17/2009 - 09:46

So if I have been driving for 23 years and never ever claimed, but only changed insurers this last year, will they ask for proof and if they do, how can I prove it? Thanks for your advice.

 La classe CU di Bonus/Malus ha beneficiato dell’agevolazione prevista dalla “legge Bersani” Not sure about this bit either! Thanks.
