After moving to Italy things changed for me in a way I could never have imagined. One night I poured my heart out on a forum,(Italymag) I received at lot of help, support and advice from people who didn’t know me but were kind enough to care.
Just read another good book set in Bologna, if you like a bit of romance try this ...http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ask-Me-Im-Happy-ebook/dp/B0051BDTXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1339334888&sr=1-1 The author has stated that a donation for all books sold will be going to the earhquake fund.
Does anyone know how many square metres you have to have to be eligible. I have been told today that a friend doesn't have to pay it as her house is too small, mine is smaller than hers so I am hoping I am exempt as well. Also my dustbin tax is halved as the bin is more than 500m from my house (502m to be exact) works for me!
We bought in Emilia 8 years ago because it was considered reasonably calm compared to Umbria, Marche etc. But before I came here I lived in Yorkshire and we had one there in 2002. Things happen everywhere, I'd still rather be here than in the UK.
Molinello, I am about 50 mins from Piazza al Serchio, and about 1 hr from Modena. I felt it here but we haven't had any damage fortunately. An Italian told me yesterday that as we are in the mountains we don't get them as strong as in other areas - don't know if this is true or not but lets hope so!

Thanks Molinello.

I'm with Flip on this 'ex-pat' clue is in the title.
Alison, how is your book doing? Can you post link so I can have a look. Thanks
Thanks Janj.

Thanks all, I'll let you know if I sell enough copies to put a roof on my house.
Thankyou Sprostoni, been working on it for so long it feels great to actually finish it!
