A very interesting but disturbing article, how many other Italian cities could follow, we all know it's bad here.

Has anyone had experience of using Eutelia, Satellite broadband and telephone, have tried a search but no results. Getting fed up with Telecom Italia service and ADSL strength so looking at alternative that wont break the Bank. Ta in advance.

Doesn't really matter what size your fence is, if they want to cross you land or hunt on it they probabbly will. The best thing to do is have a chat with your local hunt if you have any problems, as trying to fence your land off, and stop them without having a chat first, will always end in conflict. Italy has always had a strong hunting/shooting tradition and they fiercly defend their right to carry this out in rural areas, and as the law on right to roam and hunt favours them then there is little one can do to end it. Talking seems to be the best option and if you point out you have livestock/dogs/cats etc that are likely to be on the land they might give you a break. It's one of the problems living in Italy has and if one doesn't like it I'm afraid you have to lump it.

Maybe it was a Lesser Spotted Geometra, they are often known to bite the hand that feeds them.
Also remember that you have to register all Dogs with the local ASL via your Commune, ask the Comune or the Polizia Municipale for advice; if you don't you may get fined if reported. The local Italians don't seem to bother and appear to get away with it, but if your dogs gets into trouble you may have the Caribineri to deal with and they will slap a fine of €450/ dog not registered; also check with your Vet.
Try 'Dove posso comprare la legna per il mio Stuffa', but if you don't understand Italian you probably wont understand what they reply to you, so try what Alan says as most Villages have a 'man' who delivers wood for your fires. The only problem will be storing it and keeping it dry, also drying it out when you get it. The temperature in Lucca is still in the mid 20's so you probably wont need a fire yet anyway as the days are still warm enough for a t-shirt and shorts, in fact people were swimming in the sea at Lerici today so take your cosie...
My poor chap, I am not playing any 'game', I am fully covered by the system and know that it is all down to the 'Commune' as to what they deem acceptable, not some 'Barrack Room know it all', wether he/she is Italian or not, doesn't seem to cut any mustard with that fact. Many people will not know of their rights or entitlement until they get ill and then it can be too late. As I said get the information from the health site and work with that and if you look up previous posts on this subject especially from Penny, then you may be aware of some of the problems people have. So for you to quote the 'I'm more Italian than you' thing is purely infantile.
