Ciao e tutti.
Non sono ancora abbastanza sicuro insultarlo tutti con il mio brutto 
Italiano! Mi dispiace!
I am still not confident enough to insult you all with my dreadfull 
Italiano! (Mi dispiace!)
Has anyone been to this area? What is it like? And the people?
All northern Italians tell me to stay north of Roma, All southern 
Italians say stay south of Roma. It is very confusing.........
Ringrazie in anticipo

 Italians say stay south of Roma. It is very confusing.........
The north is considerably different from the south and the good stereotypes 
are true while the bad stereotypes are not. Well, at least the bad 
stereotypes are not as much true as the good stereotypes. Both parts have 
splendid qualities to enjoy. I don't like to generalize, but I'm comfortable 
enough in saying that the North offers a greater abundance of Christian art, 
while the South offers more ancient art and architecture in its original 
setting. Traveling in the South is a warm, friendly, old world experience. 
You're more likely to have unusual experiences and interactions, and you'll 
be surrounded by colorful accents and few people who speak English. 
Traveling in the North is a more comfortable, refined, and modern industrial 
European experience. The Italian accents are easier on the ear for new 
Italian speakers, and if you get weary of speaking Italian all you need to 
do is walk down a main street in Florence to hear English spoken all around. 
Whether you travel south of Roma or north of Roma, don't miss Roma proper if 
you like to visit cities. In my opinion, it is one of the most wonderful 
cities to visit in the world.
Gargano is a beautiful area with forests, winding roads, small seaside 
towns, and a rocky coastline. You will need a car. I consider all of Puglia 
well worth seeing. It doesn't have the stunning art collections, nor is it 
organized for tourists as well as other regions of Italy, and after a while 
the scenery can seem rather... well... flat. Still, the small towns and 
small cities that populate Puglia offer a rich and diverse experience for 
the visitor who is interested in more than just tourist highlights.

 
That is what I like about this n.g. Sooo civilised. 
I have visited Roma twice now & enjoyed it (and the Romans) very much. 
The only problems I had were with pestering by "clandestini"!! I got to 
practise my various "go away" phrases.
I have been told by a Roman friend to seek out a restaurant located in an 
amphitheatre on my next visit. Unfortunately I have lost touch with him 
and didn't write down the address. Anyone know it?
I shall be visiting Lazio in September and Puglia a bit later. Gargano 
has been recommended by a friend from Salerno (Salernese?)
Between ourselves, I am slowly auditioning parts of Italy to move to 
permanently. Looking for warm climate, good food, good/sea views, 
reasonable aeroporo access and no crime. If such a place exists!!
I will have fun looking anyway :0))


 reasonable aeroporo access and no crime. If such a place exists!!
In that case Tuscany would be a good bet, trouble is there are many
people thinking like that and properties have become rather expensive.

 reasonable aeroporo access and no crime. If such a place exists!!
I am sorry, we don't have that place. :)
Anyway, I am from the north and I have been to the south only two times:
Puglia (Gargano) and Calabria. I had a great time!
I was staying in a camping near Vieste. The sea is clean and very nice, but
since it's still Adriatic Sea, it's not *that* good, in my opinion. The sea
in Calabria is better. I am sure that the sea in the south of Apulia is
like the one in Calabria.
Anyway, the food is great and the people are very friendly (but sometimes
too much friendly, give me a break!)
I really love what I have seen of the south of Italy, but I don't think I
would be able to live there. It's like going back in time, for some
reasons. What I don't like of the south is that everybody shouts.
If you want a place in a *warm* climate in Italy, you have to go to the
south. If you can tolerate winters, but you want to live in a frost-free
area, you can also try the west coastline (liguria). The climate is quite
OK in the cities near Garda Lake, but it's not warm. The temperature goes
below zero once every few years, but if you move away from the lake, you
can find humidity, fog and -5°C. :)

You're probably right. But is it a warm climate?
Sebastiano

I think the sea there is very very clean, but I understand you're
considering moving there. I don't know. It's probably true that there's
more crime there than in Northern Italy. I hope I'm mistaken, of course.

And I adore Urbino. Pesaro is also nice (and there's the sea). I think the
North of the Marches is all very nice and there appears to be some wealth
in those parts. They say it's a nicer Brianza, and it's true: there's work,
there are factories, but it's very pleasant on the eye, too. Urbino is
especially agreeable, and it's also a university town, so there's a lot of
crowd. It's also very pituresque to walk in those very silent alleys.

Ho sempre pensato che il clima sia uno dei migliori della penisola:

alzare il bavero ma si porta via nebbia, foschia e nuvolaglie. Se ti
preoccupa il freddo intenso ti devo dire che si deve sopportare qualche
punta di gelo intorno ai giorni della merla e qualche nevicata a sorpresa

La primavera, come è ovvio, è il periodo migliore, ma la canicola è

 Italians say stay south of Roma. It is very confusing.........
As far as I understood, you are looking for some place in Italy where 
you and your family could try to move in the next future.
Under the hypothesis that you don't need to get a job to live, I have a 
suggestion for you, quite a good one, in my humble opinion. My 
suggestion is to buy a Ryanair ticket for Palermo, getting a train 
ticket at the airport for Trapani (or Marsala, but it is just a bit 
longer travel), getting the train (it is painfully slow, but it let you 
to check the countryside from the windows, and does so especially after 
Alcamo), checking in in one of the city's b&bs, rent a car and begin to 
wander around the area between San Vito, Alcamo and Mazara del Vallo. If 
you limit yourself to the triangle between Trapani, Marsala and 
Calatafimi, especially when leaving the highway, you'll find yourself in 
the Chiantishire as it appeared to '60s Britons. You'll see hills 
covered with grapes, a few woods, a couple of little lakes, a couple of 
spa, hellenic temples and teathers, middle age towns, tuf builded cities 
and churches, three magnificent islands just a few minuts of overcraft 
before your reach, wonderful sea and beaches and you will get 300 days 
of sun each year.
Some further tips: for people living in the area, August is the worst 
month of the year. The month usually begins with scirocco and unbearable 
heat and ends with lightstorms and tropical rains, and everything is 
overcrowded, mostly from Italian tourists. Rich trapanese families they 
all got more or less same solution: they pack everything and move top of 
Monte Erice for most of the month. Less affluent ones, are usually 
commuting there each evening (this year, they will be ferried by a brand 
new gondola lift). I don't advice you to look to buy an house in Erice, 
although very pittoresque (you would end as the envy of your summer 
visiting friends), winter conditions aren't exactly warming, and the 
myst rules the town, anyway renting one (being enough lucky and rich and 
good linked) for the worst days of August is ever the good option.
Set aside from August and down from Erice, you get 11 months of mild to 
warm climate, snow one cumulative week every 20 years (people will show 
you picture, reassuring you that they actually touched snow with their 
own hand back in the February 1999), best quality price rate for wine 
you could look for in developed and developing countries, best bread in 
the earth, at a price a retired Briton can't definitively find 
otherwhere in Europe those days.
You could actually get better bargains in places as New Zealand or 
Turkey, perhaps, anyway as long as you go for catching an hidden Italian 
trasure, that area could be worthy your try.
Best time to visit in spring, from April to early June, good also in 
March, June to July, September to early November. Cold, by my standard, 
between December to February. High humidity it is common in the 
seashores, which means winter can be worst of what weather forecast 
could bring you to believe, and houses are usually builded not against 
the cold, but against the hot, but again, you could choose to pass your 
winter days swimming in the thermal pools of Segesta. Best time to move 
in, after December, better in February, to get the awakening of spring. 
Trapani itself is a pretty windy city, but its city center and its 
seaport were mostly renewed just this year due the America's Cup 
qualifying races. They will cruise around there this year between 
September to middle October, so again I advice you against those dates 
if you don't like regatta, overcrowd and higher prices. If you actually 
could like those things, I happen to have a relative with a little, 
clean, renewed and pittoresque house for 4 people to rent for the event, 
starting at 40€ per night (not for person, for house, you got it right), 
so in case, just make me know, I'll provide you with further info. 
Anyway, given that we are already in June, it is probable you could try 
a trip also in July, in example to get the chance to see some show at 
Segesta (
http://www.calatafimisegesta.com/segesta/segesta.html
), that 
month they have Euripides, Shakespeare and the English Symphony Youth 
Orchestra. Mix that with a few days in Favignana, some dinner around the 
grapes, check the prices of the houses and of the vineyards, and makes 
up your mind.
Just as last info, I've got some real estate broker as a perspective 
customer for some business of mine, and he told me he has been recently 
(in the last 18 months) first surprised than overhelmed with requests 
for quotation and for info reaching his desk from the UK, mostly from 
investors who are attracted from the pretty low prices they can get 
around there, so perhaps it could be also a worthy investment even from 
the strictly financiary point of view to check around the area.

Okay, I tried to be balanced, but so many people are talking about the North 
you need a little nudge in the other direction. You said you had a friend in 
Salerno. That's a wonderful city in which the renovation of the old center 
is proceeding, albeit slowly. It's by the sea and the climate is great 
although I can remember a very cold wait for a bus on the main road above 
Positano in February. It's close to Napoli and the Amalfi coast but in 
general tourists avoid going that far south. Also, Roma is near enough for 
weekend trips. In the evening the streets are filled with people if you like 
to 'fare la passeggiata', and the very civilized custom of retiring home for 
an extended pranzo is still practiced by many.
Personally, I think Sicilia is gorgeous and it is one of the most desireable 
spots to visit in Italy, however arranging the logistics to live there may 
involve adapting to the Byzantine unofficial officialness of the local 
government. Palermo and Syracusa are gems, the Siciliani in general are very 
warm once you are accepted (as much as you can generalize about people), and 
the climate is distinctly 'mediterranean'. If you want to stay on the 
mainland, and you like small cities that are away from the typical tourist 
destinations you might consider Lecce, in Puglia, although my choice on the 
east side of the peninnsula would be Trani. 

 Siena is another beautiful city where I'd like to live.

P.S. Sei libero o domani o sabato sulle 18.00-19.00 per una
chiacchierata su Skype? (la domanda è rivolta a tutti gli Skypisti
:-)))

 :-))))))))))
Ma lui lo diceva in un'altra epoca, quando il telefonino era ancora
qualcosa che distingueva. 
Oggi ci si distingue con il videofonino, come minimo... ;)

I think so. Yesterday I couldn't manage to be free by 18.00.
Bye, FB

I know that at one time in Italy and Germany, it was mandatory that
you stop at an accident scene if someone flagged you down. This
was often cited here in the US to encourage a change in our laws,
because even doctors here were afraid to stop and assist people
at the scene of an accident, for fear of being sued if anything
happened to the accident victim. The laws in Italy and Germany
were held up as examples of what the law here should be,
because it was believed that lives could be saved if people
(including doctors) were not discouraged from intervening.
Unlike in Europe, there is no national driving code here, but
some states have implemented laws ("Good Samaritan" laws)
which prevent a person from being sued if he stops to help a
person who is injured in an accident.
The New York State "Good Samaritan Law" embodies a legal
principle that prevents a rescuer from being sued for wrongdoing.
This is not the same as the law which once existed in Italy and
Germany which made it a criminal violation to fail to stop when
flagged down to transport an injured person to a hospital.
Of course, in New York State, if a doctor stops at an accident, and
there are paramedics present, his services are not required, and the
"Good Samaritan" law does not apply, and he could be sued if he
interfered with the paramedics, who are much better trained to deal
with trauma than is the average doctor.
In Florida, you are required to provide the injured person all
reasonable assistance, including attempting to obtain treatment for
the injured or transporting him to a doctor or hospital, which is
in contrast to the New York law, which makes no mention of
transportation to a hospital.

P.S. Ho visto che Jonny fa molti progressi in italiano: da "biiira"
dell'altro giorno, ieri è riuscito a dire correttamente "birra" al
primo tentativo. Vediamo se la prossima volta riesce a pronunciare bene
il suono "gli" :-)

Well, he still has a bit of Bertinotti's r, but at least he doesn't say
biiiraa anylonger.
