Re: Driving from Sicily to Liguria and thence to France

We are 21st century British Expats that have made Italy our home. We’re not tripadvisor.

Where exactly has “the bridge” slipped out of the news? Not Italy, for sure. By “they”, are you...

Re: Self-employed in Italy (vs Spain)

I don't know why the whole issue of Partita IVAs makes my head spin.

Modicasa, you say that if you earn over 30,000 a year you need a P.IVA. So what does one do if estimated earnings are 15,000??

Re: Common Reporting Standard

Re: Moving to Italy, working in the UK
