Clueless in Italy's activity

Questions Asked

Hi.

I have a property in the Italian Alps, it is mortgage free and I was going wondering about the possibility of take a loan out against the house.

It's this something Italian banks look at ?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has experienced and opinions of the Italian dental service? How did it compare to the UK regarding costs? I am sure the standard works be very good.

Thanks

Hi I am just trying to get a sense of roughly how much the waste tax is in your various areas. 

I think part of the calculation is on the m2 of the property, would this include all outbuildings, the catena etc?

Hi we have just been up to our local commune and collected a form to apply for residency {EU passport holders}

My wife is an EU national {eire} 

As I understand it she can apply in Italy for some sort of permit to stay which gets around the 90 in 180 day issue. 

Does this mean that as her spouse I can then also gain the same status.

Question about pharmacies 

I am currently in Italy but managed to forget my invaluable back tablets. 

Do pharmacies require a doctors prescription are can you purchase medication over the counter.

Hi we set up a local bank account and had it all automated.

However it stopped after awhile and we ran into the no italian phone number issue.

As a temp work around i paid online via paypal account with no problems. it is not a big problem as our bill is every 2 months.

Thanks for the update. \we are still enjoying Italy at the moment and wont be returning before the deadline.

We are scheduled to come back in about 3 weeks so will have to see what the situation is at that time.

i am thinking of maybe flying the family back and i could drive back on my own but everything is so fluid italy could be on the list by then.

Thanks.

Good advice....But none of those are realistic options. Its an old mill, loads of climbing plants, holes and tunnels everwhere.

I know the romans liked them dipped in honey however as my wife is a life long vegi thats not an option either.

Hi, went a route that I think you are familiar with, Belgium, Luxembourg and down, through the Gottard tunnel.

No stops a hard slog but 2 of us share the driving.

Hi.

Just an update on our trip over.

All very smooth. Face masks on the ferry and at petrol stations.

No stops or Checks at any point. 

Everything seems to be open some very small shops operating a 1 at a time policy.

Have been sitting out for coffees and ice cream most days and except for the waiting staff wearing face masks it all feels very normal.
