Questions Asked

Is the TARI still the same figure this year (2019).  I have moved house in UK and think they may have sent the request to the old address.  We live in Bagni di Lucca.

Is it true there are massive penalties for moving your bank account to another provider

Went to our bank in Lucca today (Cassa di Risparmio di Pistoia e Della Lucchesia) to pay in some cash for our direct debits for water and electricity.

We purchased our house just outside Bagni di Lucca some 12 years ago.  We have been rigorous about paying our taxes and any alterations have gained the required permissions before undertaking them.

We have a leak in our roof. We want to repair this as soon as possible obviously but we have decided to insulate at the same time. Do we need permission to do this from the Commune? The roof tiles will remain the same.

We are just about to replace our central heating boiler (oil fired) as currently the old one does not comply with current regulations including the fact the the door to the room where the boiler is located should have a vent in it.

Does anyone know if it is possible to fill UK LPG (Calor) gas bottles without difficulty in Italy. Do I need a connector to get it filled? My regulator is a UK one and is fine.

 As we are currently only able to visit our house around four times a year we have instigated direct debit for our electricity (which is obviously minimal).

We have not been able to get a 7.5 kg bottle anywhere in Italy which is why we are taking our own.

The portable gas fire is a UK one.  Thurcroft Verine - looks like a little woodburner but is portable, so we need an English bottle to fit inside.  The Italian ones are too big.  We are taking over a suitable bottle (calor) and a UK regulator but are not sure whether you can get UK bottles filled as the connection on top is not likely to be acceptable in Italy.  My friend in France has the same problem but is able to get an adaptor for the connector - just wanted to know if this is possible in Italy.

You exchange in the UK but in Italy we get ours filled by a local supplier.  Currently we have an Italian bottle which holds 4kg and we are taking over a 7.5kg bottle which is a UK one.  We are taking it empty and hope to get it filled when we get there at the same place we fill our Italian bottle.

Thanks Grommit.  I have an Italian speaking friend on the case.  I already have a D.D. form but it has the wrong address on it, we moved house recently in UK.  I think it would cause too much confusion to use that form.  If no luck with current direction will do as you suggest.
