This one seems to have passed the Google test....Name all the grottos of the island of Capri, in order, starting from a departure point of Marina Grande and circling the island clockwise (right turn out of the harbor). I'm looking for their proper
I've got a good one for you.I was invited by prospective property management clients out to see their recently purchased property, one of 85 planned units in a new-build borgo in Umbria. I handle individual properties - e.g.
Hello everyone! I'm Elisabeth posting from Orvieto most of the year, and from the Amalfi Coast during the summers. I used to visit the forums regularly, but never posted. When I found this new format, I thought I'd give it a try!
The four most commonly mapped, visited and talked about grottos on Capri can be found most easily by consulting tourist materials. I have been going to the island my whole life, and lived there full time for ten years, so I can say with some authority that there are four grottos commonly referred to, visited and "sold" by boat captains looking for busines...
Though out of order :-( I really didn't think this would be so hard. Or maybe just not interesting to people. Anyway, here's another hint:, three of them are color names.
You don't say where you'll be in Italy, but many of the local banks, especially in the center and north, have at least one person who speaks English. You may find that the service your local bank can give you is better than what you would get with an impersonal, large bank - even if they have an English call center.Unicredit has been buying up regional banks at an alarming rate, and I've not heard great things about their customer service. I've been happy with Monte Paschi di Siena in three locations for a number of years. They (and I'm certain other banks as well) offer an online-only account for a very good rate.Many of my US/UK clients have gone with the online bank Fineco (owned by Unicredit) and are very happy. I believe they also have help in English.Good luck!
Hello there,In this, as with so much in Italy, you should do what you feel is right since you are auto-certifying your income to the doctor. Technically the ASL could ask you to fill out a form to this effect, but I haven't heard of this happening. If you have an income of under 10k, from whatever source, you should pay your "ticket". Don't forget that you told the authorities that you could support yourself when you asked for residency in Italy! In practice, lots of people with income of over 10k claim "esenzione" from paying. That said, depending on what tests you need, your ticket (or co-pay) is probably not going to be very high. My husband just had a very complete blood panel for around €50 in Umbria.
Cerasuolo is the first Sicilian DOCG. It's produced in the Ragusa province in Caltanisetta and Catania using Frappato and Calabrese grapes. It's one of the few grapes that can boast a birth certificate: in 1606 the founder of the town of Vittoria, Vittoria Colonna Enriques, gave the first 75 colonists a hectare of land on the condition that they cultivated another hectare as a vineyard. Even the name has historic origins: in the area a red bud grew spontaneously, though similar in name to "cherry" (kerasos) it was a different plant. The founder's investments yielded copius fruit, so much so that in 1808 Balsamo the monk could write: "Victoria's land produces a very valid wine that should, in my opinion, be regarded as the best of this type on the whole island. It's composed almost entirely of grossonero, calabrese and frappato grapes."

It was my pleasure. Anything I can do...
Do you remember just how awful the Ford Capri was???

On maps, tourist materials, etc. I didn't think that people would actualy want to go swim the island to find the rest on their own ;-)

I'll give you a hint; there are four.
